Toe in problem
OK. So I installed the KONI FSD and Eibach Pro kit. Went smoothly enough. I then head to the shop for an alignment check. They tell me the cam bolts to adjust the toe are seized, and the bushings for the control arms are in bad shape.
OK. So I install the Meyle Trailing arm set ( part # 014 035 0017).
The bushings for the control arms had not arrived yet, they are still wrapped in plastic at this point. After I finished with the Meyle kit, I called it a day, took the car off the jack stands. The rear wheels have a ridiculous amount of Toe In.
I research the problem, it seems I pre-loaded incorrectly by just putting the car on the ground before tightening. I then got a magnetic level, and pre-loaded with the drive shafts level, per the article on Pelican Parts. The cam bolts are turned all the way out, still the rear wheels are Toed In BAD! Turning the bolts just pulls them in even more.
What am I missing?
