[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 3006436, member: 27518"] You have to identify what aspect is 'misaligned' for the rear, there are only a two that I know of. The toe, which is adjustable and also prone to loosening if you drive the car hard, and the camber, which is fixed, unless you changed it to adjustable types. No caster for rear, so that probably is not a problem. Without knowing, I can only guess that your toe adjuster part, the place where the bolt ties to the chassis is not gripping well enough, so the toe tends to change after a while. If you look under the chassis, you can notice the toe adjuster bolt and the plate where it clamps on, the plate will have a shiny area (because the bolt slides on that, rather than holding it in place) Not much to do after that, other than welding a new plate on there, and clamping the bolt on that, or go for adjustable toe adjusters, and weld a plate there with a non-adjustable hole (not the stock elongated style) or if you don't plan to drive the car till the doors fall off, meaning [B]you're not keeping the car for long,[/B] simply changing the bolt could solve the problem But that's what I got from my experience. I'd suggest to check everything whether the situation you're suffering from is the same as mine. Sometimes, it could be that one of your shocks are sagging, or spoilt, causing the camber and toe to change as the final sag after the rebound is different each time. [B]This is more likely[/B] if your shocks are really old / 2nd hand / bought from kedai potong, etc. That's why you should ask the tire shop to bounce the car while on the machine and see if the toe/camber changes after the car rebounds to it's original sag. Find out if it's the shock absorbers, or the toe adjusters that's causing it. It could be another reason, but I can't think of one right now. [/QUOTE]
