Hey there, fellow NX owners. I'd like to ask for your help by attaching a photo like the one below here. You can take this photo by turning your steering wheel lock to lock on pavement a few times to "etch" the circle/axis in, then slightly reversing and turning one of the wheels out to make capturing it easier.

If not on factory wheels or alignment, it'll greatly help if you could state width, offset, and camber details as well. This photo, for example, shows 255 tires on +38 offset wheels at -1.6 degrees camber.

Long story short, I installed Hardrace camber curve correctors and suspect that my steering axis inclination and therefore scrub radius has been altered. At zero camber, the circular patch would've been very close to the middle of the tire. If my ideas are in any way accurate, unaltered NXs would have the circular patch farther inside from the tire's center line. Only way to know for sure is through your help. Thank you and keep safe.

Hmm. It probably wouldn’t help even if I posted my car but did you align your car properly? I run -3 camber in the rear and -1 in the front. I just had to correct my toe and my car bahaves the same.

Thanks for chiming in. The car is perfectly aligned for the way I drive it - I personally did it. F -1.6, R -1.4 camber. F 3/32, R 1/32. All but front camber within factory specifications.

I want to see how far the steering axis changed as a result of lower ball joint relocation, so I can order the correct offset wheels. Unfortunately, I didn't take a similar photo before installing the camber curve correctors, inaccurately marketed as roll center correctors by Hardrace. (They don't really do anything to the roll center.)

Any photo would help, as long as wheel offset details are provided! Just turn the wheel lock to lock on pavement a few times to mark that turning "circle" in, so the axis is apparent.
