    Need Advice

    I just got a wheel alignment done, on my eg and the report says my camber is out by 2 degrees on the right front, the tyre place says that they cant adjust the camber and that something is bent underneth.
    Where would i go to get it checked out a suspension place like pedders maybe?
    Will the $14 saftey check find out if something is bent or do i have to pay more?
    Will a camber kit realign my camber even if it something is bent?
    What are my best options guys?

    take it to a suspension shop to get it looked at.... show them the report and tell them what the tyre shop said so they can try and find it... if youre afraid of prices just ask if they can look quickly to diagnose the problem and go from there.. ask them for quotes

    A suspension place told my friend the same thing. That something was bent and that camber couldn’t be fixed. A camber kit later and its all fine.
    Id say still go have the $14 check, just don’t have anything fixed there.
    Something could be bent just make sure they identify what is bent.

    Whats wrong with pedders do they rip ppl off?
    wat other places are there to go to in melb for these type of problems?

    its good to get your suspension checked from any reputable suspension place.. but be careful because i got that $14 check from pedders and they told me that my shocks were gone, which was true but they said my bushes were gone too and i took it too ISmotorracing and they said my bushes were fine... get a second opinion if your not to sure...

    If your camber is out something is bent. I wouldnt get anything done by pedders. Take it to Kmac at rockdale if your in NSW, they're pretty good and and know their shit.

    Like some of the others have said take it to a few shops and get a number of different opinions. Maybe even a Honda dealership can have a quick look for you?
    See a good post? Give it a PQ point.
