'Shims"

It looks like I'm smarter than Japeater. I called Eibach on my pulling problem for my car. They do make shims for the cobalt. The company that makes the shims for our cars is called speacilty products. The shims cost 15.76, the phone number for the company is 1800-525-6505. There are other places you can get this part besides from them. Autozone and orileys carry that part as well. Now jap I have done my homework on my problem what will it cost me to have you fix this for me sunday.

There regular alignment products.......A shop with a good alignment tech should have picked it up. Also the new hunter racks will tell a tech which shims to use. Nothing cutting edge there. Oh, 15.76 is high for some shims......check your sources.....

You can get them from orielys or autozone for around $9. I dont think I put that in the post on the cost from them. Now the problem with that is the part was not out for our car at that time. Japeater looked for the part himself and have talked to Gm about the pulling problem the cobalts have when they come stock.

dude ive had two completely different cobalts and driven two more and ive never seen a "stock pulling problem" if it pulles its cause someone fucked the alignment up or cause you dont know how to drive and hit curbs all the time or cause you live in houston where the average car needs alignment once a month because the ******* roads are so bad. the cobalt doesnt have a stock pulling problem do u thing that gm would sell a **** load of cobalts if they all pulled sorry for the bold just trying to make a point on what im trying to say

You have no clue on what this post is about. Does the word eibach springs come to mind your retard. After lowering ours cars they pull to the right. After I bought my car brand new it pulled to the right a little bit. I dont hit anything with my car. I cna show my o.e **** to show you I have never hit or bumped anything with my vehicle. I will even show you a pic of my aftermarket wheels. But before you start blowing up. You need to read the post alittle bit more careful.

Obviously you dont listen. The car had 0 miles on it when I test drove it and it did pulled to the right. More like a drift. You still understand what this topic is about. This topic is about lowering the car and having install shims to the rear to fix the camber and toe issues. Ok someone ban this moron from this post. I take it the water is austin is making you just plan stupid.

so that proves what i was saying that there was something wrong with the alignment when you got the car. you were trying to say that all coblats pull to the right

Ok this is what you originally said and i was just trying to say that coblats do not have a pulling problem if yours did it means that it was a factory defect or you threw it out of alignment thats all i was saying.
