Title: Is this bad? Post by: dguy on April 11, 2004, 08:31:12 pm I know I've uttered my share of bad words when working on one vehicle or another, but I don't recall ever telling my Fiero to "get bent." No wonder the alignment shop couldn't do anything with the RF wheel last year. ::)

Aaron . Title: Re:Is this bad? Post by: dguy on April 12, 2004, 01:34:11 pm I wish I knew for certain, but I suspect that it's a product of other worn components, and a once improperly mounted upper ball joint which would "jump" from one end of its camber adjustment slots to the other if given a hard bump.
Title: Re:Is this bad? Post by: 2ML67 on April 12, 2004, 05:27:34 pm I don't know for sure but that sure looks like driver abuse to me. Being accused of it wrongly I have learned what to look for in that case.

Driver abuse is certainly another possibility; I simply didn't mention it in an out-of-character attempt to be brief. I've had problems getting the RF wheel aligned properly ever since I purchased the car. P'raps now I'll finally get this daemon exorcised! Given some of the other things I found when I put it on the road, more that I've found since, and conversations with the previous owner, I'm suspicious that the guy asked a lot from the car, but gave very little back to it in return.

Title: Re:Is this bad? Post by: Kitten on April 13, 2004, 11:13:42 am the '86
Title: Re:Is this bad? Post by: dguy on April 14, 2004, 10:00:32 am It's neither the '84 nor the '86, actually. My baby is an '85. :P ;D
Sorry, I should have specified which car, especially after voicing my opinion of the previous owner. The car in question is not formerly Chris S's 84. Title: Re:Is this bad?
