Hey guys, i have a big handling/alignment issue. I bought my car from a kid back in august 2010 who said he put the car into a curb at about 30MPH on the driver side the previous winter and never bothered to fix it. Well now that the season is coming around again i wanna get this fixed before it comes out. I tried having a local shop align it last fall and they said they ran out of adjustment on the rear (not sure about the front) and that it needs to go on a frame rack.
Here are my alignment specs
Rear Axle before:
camber left: 1.2*
camber right: -0.8*
toe left: -0.52"
toe righ: -0.71"
total toe: -1.23"
After:
camber left: 1.2*
camber right: -0.8*
toe left: -0.41"
toe right: -0.58"
total toe: -0.99"
Front Axle before:
camber left: 0.2*
camber right: -1.6*
toe left: 0.18"
toe right: 0.14"
total toe: 0.32"
After:
camber left: 0.2*
camber right: -1.6*
toe left: 0.01"
toe right: 0.31"
total toe: 0.33"
As you can see the front specs aren't bad besides the tech getting lazy and failing to fix the right toe angle. But the left camber numbers do reflect the kid hitting the curb. Do you guys think the subframe is bent? My car is a 95 Tsi AWD and i've heard of a lot of guys with 95's running out of rear toe adjusment. I just want a few opinions before i go spend $300 to put it on a frame rack. Thanks!
