Has any of you lowered SC's had worse negative alignment issues with aftermarket inner tie rods?Like Autozone,NAPA,Advanced Auto etc.?I had a bent inner tie rod on the driver side and after installing Advanced auto ones my alignment on my drivers side is maxed out at -1.50 when it was -0.3 before.Passenger side is fine at -0.4.Would it be possible to cut off a few threads on the inner tie rod or does that only control the toe?Any ides,experiences like this?

tie rods only control toe, if your talking about camber thats adjusted by the lca bolts

Right,I just don't understand why my camber went from -0.3 to -1.5 after replacing the inner tie rod.

check other things in the suspension carefully. if you can get your toe to correct spec then there is an issue somewhere else.

btw why are you running so little camber anyways? i run -2.0* all around and it is a night and day difference from stock. the car handles so much better.

Well I don't drive the car hard at all and I just want a long lasting tire wear in the end Coming from a Honda background -1.50 wouldn't last too long but,I guess it's not a big issue with SC's?Also my car steers slightly to the right due to the off camber on one side.I'm kind of thinking maybe ball joints but,I can't tell if there shot or not.

Or bushings, you have something thats loose or your camber wouldnt have changed.

I'll double check that.The upper/lower arm bushings were replaced a few months ago.Thanks though
