Need an alignment.

I'm on stock suspension and car is starting to pull right. Someone said I need a camber kit even on stock suspension to do an alignment. Thought I'd ask all of you guys and see what I all I need to get my alignment fixed.

You go to a shop and ask for an alignment? They are usually $70-$100 or so

$200 for a lifetime alignment at Firestone if you're keeping a car for more than a year or two...


Most reputable places will check the alignment first and if it's fine - they won't charge you for it.

By the way, who told you that you need a camber kit even on stock suspension? You only need camber plates in the rear if you want to adjust it back there if you're going "moar low", but the front is fully adjustable...

I don't remember where I saw it but it was on a forum when I was searching around.

the front is not "fully" adjustable.....there are no caster settings.....and witout elongating the bolt holes (or installing camber bolts) there is only a small amount of adjustment for camber in the front. But unless something is bent, or you are lowered you probably won't need them.

As for the back, you install shims to change the settings.
