Hi. I have a 1986 FC with 205/55 r16 wheels with general S2000 tires, and my car handles great. I wouldnt know what the problem would be. only thing i can think of is when you adjusted camber maybe you did it backwards on one wheel or forgot one of the wheels. also have the toe checked on the tires to see if they are ligned up right just a thought. hope any of my 2¢ helped you
: Here is my setup:
: 3rd Generation Wheels with 225/50ZR16 Dunlop SP8000 tires.
: Eibach Prokit Springs
: Tokico HP Struts
: Racing Beat Camber Adjust Rod
: H&R 25mm Hubcentric Spacers
: I have had the car aligned and have gotten the negative
: camber down to just under 1-degree with the camber adjust rod.
: All other specs (toe, caster) are to spec.
: I still have significant steering problems. On uneven pavement
: where the road has tire marks embedded in the asphalt,
: the car wants to go out of control and is very difficult to
: keep straight. Im surprised I haven't been pulled over for
: drunk driving, because that's what it must look like as I am
: all over the road, trying to keep the car straight.
: I was told the 2.2 degrees of negative camber was the cause.
: But after adjusting the camber to under 1 degree, I haven't noticed
: a dramatic difference (ofcourse it doesn't handle as well in the corners
: anymore).
: What else can be causing the car to wander so much?
: Thanks,
: Matt
