well, today me and my dad went to put in new ball joints,front control arm bushings, and do the LS1 Brake upgrade. Anyhow, we only got to do the passenger side front control arm bushings and ball joints because they were such a Pain in the A$$, and very time consuming. BUt we did manage to get the LS1 brake upgrade on there also. We will finish the drivers side in the next day or so...
But i had to drive the car home, and the steering wheel was way off. It was pointing towards the right to go straight. Suprisingly, you could have the wheel pointed to the right to go straight and let off the wheel and it would kinda stay straight. What would cause the wheel to be way off? I kno you can move the front bushing (horizontal)part of the lower control arm left to right before it is actually tightend down. would that cause it to be off?

I kno the car needs to be aligned after front end suspension work, but im waiting for the drivers side ball joints and bushings to get done.
Just curious why the wheel is way off right now....

Thanks

prolly need an alignment, your toe is prolly way off.

 

yea most likely....but is there an adjustment on the lower front control arm on the front bushing bolt? because it can move left and right before the bolt is full tightend.

 

i beieve thats to adjust your camber angle, on my car i use the top of the strut to adjust that but i'm not sure about yours. if it moves left/right its gotta be camber. but no camber will not affect your steering wheel position, its mainly toe and your sai.

 

what do u adjust at the top of the strut? and whats the SAI?
