need help with suspension!
I went to NTB for alignment on '01 GSR and they said...
left front Caster: -1.5 (range is 0.2 to 2.2)
right front caster: -1.1 (range 0.2 to 2.2)
left front toe: -0.84 (range -0.08 to 0.08)
right front toe: -0.33 (ragne -0.08 to 0.08)
left rear toe: -0.36 (range 0.04 to 0.16)
right rear toe: -0.36 ( range 0.04 to 0.16)
As you can see, my toe and cambers are all screwed up. They said go to a body shop b/c they have machines to see what is wrong. Is this gonna be expensive to fix? Do i need a camber kit? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yeah, I can't believe they couldn't adjust it themselves.
Stupid.
I wouldn't imagine it would cost much, no more than $80 to do an entire alignment.
At least that what it was the last time I went.
......thats been 2 years though
hahahaha

Actually, i hopped on curb but it was just the front two wheels, so i dont think the back would get screwed up. I did run over a sewar plate and open manhole that was open when it was flooded here. So i should just take it to another store and see what they say?

Do you have any suspension mods? Take it to somebody who knows what they are doing. They should give you more information than that. They should actually be able to check if anything is bent, not just point you to a body shop. You should get camber, caster, toe reading from each wheel. Only toe is adjustable on a stock suspension so if nothing else they should adjust that to spec.

If you hit the curb and/or manhole hard enough you could have thrown your alignment. Non of those numbers should be off like that. I assume since it's a '01 you didn't buy second hand, and have the full history of the car. Also, what are your camber results? You should only need a camber kit if you're lowered.
