Hey folks ...

so im in the middle of my suspension overhaul .. really looking forward to it once its done!

Got all my parts from Pelican .... etc etc.

After installing all the new parts .... trying to do the geometry and something is not right at the REAR!

Even at minimum .... the LEFT REAR toe-in is 4Degrees! (couldnt go any less)
RIGHT REAR is a more reasonable but still off 2Degrees.

On the Camber note:
really weird. ....on the RIGHT .....at Max setting RIGHT REAR camber is -2Degrees
while on the LEFT REAR .... to try match .... it required MIN setting to reach -2Degrees camber. So what happens is that everything looks way off... when the Camber were in-sync.

All the new parts were installed properly ... the car has not been in any accident. We even measured the chassis to see if it was bent .. but it was off by only 1mm... which means its in great shape!

Im totally at a loss why its like this! ...Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance!
