Here's my problem:

I just replaced my steering rack, inner tie rods, outer tie rods, all ball joints, all 4 upper control arms, and all 4 lower control arms. I also installed the ECS Ultimate timing kit, HD clutch & flywheel.

The only thing I didn't do is coil-overs.

I went to have it aligned, and although they could align the toe, they couldn't adjust camber, or caster - Apparently every single alignment shop in my area doesn't know how to align a quadra-link suspension (even though it's only 8 bolts to loosen).

After the "alignment", my car still has negative camber ON BOTH front wheels and it pulls to the right (on new tires).

I was thinking about adjusting the sub-frame myself, when it dawned on me: "How in the hell can I possibly have negative camber on both front wheels?.......especially when everything is stock/oem replacement?

Adjusting the sub-frame will fix one side, but make the other side worse.

Also: How in the hell is this thing pulling to the right when the toe is correct on all four wheels and all of the tires have the same (32psi) pressure?

I am completely dumbfounded here.

Can you help?

Thanks!

Mine ended up being severe radial pull on one of my new tires. I had the tires rotated and the problem was instantly resolved.
