Eibach camber kit help!!!

[thethirdeye88]

i ordered an Eibach caster/camber kit a while back and come to find out it does not fit my car, nor do they not make a caster/camber kit for my car...now why would they have such a kit available if it is not compatible?...this is money wasted...someone please help...

I have an 04, with the Eibach's, and DIDNT need the kit.
My alignment specs are dead on in the middle of the factory ranges given...I would send them back for a refund.
I also spent a little extra at Firestone, for their lifetime alignment. I bumped a curb in the ice, and they did it again for nuthin!

well, they said mine did not fit nor did they not make one for my car...also my left rear is sitting at -3.1 on the left and -1.2 on the right...reason for the crazy camber is i tagged a ditch and a tree at an insane rate of speed and tweaked my frame, it got pulled, but i think something else is bent...someone let me know what to look for, i know all the people to get this fixed, but i need to pinpoint something first...i dont know what to look at...but its doesnt make sense, i ordered my brakes and caster/camber kit at the same time from o'reiley's...why is it the wrong part...

Why are you asking us, when you should be asking O'Reiley's? Just take it back and tell them they gave you the wrong part.

Eibach's alignment kit for the LS is part #5.87540K

If it turns out that you did get the right part, then your alignment shop is giving you false information. A little due diligences on your part can clear this up very quickly.

I thought some people say the kit doesnt work?

+1 to the firestone lifetime alignment. I usually get it check every 7 to 10 K or before a long road trip.

sounds like your cradle needs to be adjusted. there is a little adjustment left and right where it bolts to the floor. had to do the same to my car.

 

[thethirdeye88]

no, there is no fixing my rear really...thats why i need that camber kit to counter the alignment issues...i hit a tree going about 60...backwards...first there was the ditch that bent something....on my left rear...then there was the tree that bent my frame...and destroyed my bumper, rebar, etc...didnt bust a tail light tho...

been there man, my cars been totaled. put a new rear cradle from ford and got it a little far to the the passengers side. drove it for a while but kept wearing the tires after i lowered it. i actually adjusted it over and slotted the control arm bolt holes and did my own alignment with a string and a tape measure and couldn't be happier. now my tires seem to be wearing even all the way across and everything's in specs on the machine.
