    tire squeeling..HELPP!

    i just installed the raceland coilovers today and for some reason when im driving my tires are squeeling just going straight..and when i make a turn it squeels louder like im a crazy driver but im just driving normal...do you think it needs an alignment?..my steering wheel does pull more a little to the right now..

    well u dont need to, they just cant adjust camber, they should still be able to adjust toe tho, that's whats making the squeel. Are you super low or something?

    A camber kit would be recommended. Toe will eat your tires much faster then camber will though. If the car is really low, you need to get a camber kit. Also, ANY time you lower or raise the car you need to have an alignment done. Don't toy around with suspension. Do it right so that you can keep tires on the car and also so the car drives safe on the road at speed.

    Holy hell -5 degress or -.5 degress!...lol Anyway, glad you got that fixed! I would recommend to check out the SPC camber kits. They are well made, do not come lose, and will last forever. They are a tad bit more expensive, but you are gonna get what you pay for.

    lol yeah, definitely need a camber kit. That is way to much for a DD! -.5 to -.75 is usually goot for the back and -.75 to -1.5 for the front are good settings for a DD. I personally run -.75 all the way around and car drives great and is stable. Tire wear is even on all tires.
