Default Allignment Issues

i put on bielstein 5100 and new wheels and tires a couple weeks ago and i noticed it was pulling to the right more than it should. so i installed camber kit in both control arms (front and back) realigned it, and it still is pulling to the right. so we put it back on the rack and it was still in spec.

i have the tires set at 50psi. i fliped the front and rear tires and it still pulls right. me and the guy that helped me put the stuff on are confused on why
its still pulling to the right.

and i mean pulling to the right, soon as you let go of the wheel it will drift right, not gradually drift right as you drive

What are your caster readings? Camber wont make it pull unless its waaay off. If the caster looks okay, Switch the tires left to right. Even if the bad tire is in the back it can still cauer a pull because it throws off the thrust angle...


But thrust angle is important as Gator pointed out. If you thrust angle is off then youve got issues sinces its a solid axle in the back.
