need help, i need a temporary fix for alignment(toe in/out)
yea, well i adjusted my camber kit for the front of my car today, and i put the rims back on, when i lowered it down i tightened the lug nuts and i went to go drive to walmart, but as soon as i turned, the wheels broke traction. i never had this problem earlier but anyways.. fuck the whole story
right now, my front left wheel is slightly turned out wards to the left, and the front right wheel is slightly turned outwards to the right. so they're not pointed in the same direction. That's why it was losing traction so easily, and i know that. The only question i have is, is there anyway i can get them semi-aligned so that it'll be safe to drive on? i just need to adjust the toe settings, that's it, is there anyway i could do a temporary fix on it?
it's on a 95 civic if that makes any difference
help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Alighnment ins't THAT expensive and it's quick....take it to a trusted mechanic. You really want alignment done right for the sake of your tires...and safety. Driving wet conditions with that bad alignment will really suck.

i know, i have the money to get it aligned right now, but whenever i turn my car, the tires start squealing from where they're breaking traction. that's why i'm trying to get a temporary fix so that it'll be safe to drive to an alignment shop and to work tomorrow morning :-\

go to FIRESTONE...in yorktown they are cool as poo they have a lifetime alignment for 119$....you pay that and you never have to pay for alignment again....well at least until you sell you car....you can only get it for one car and if you sell it(your car) then you gotta buy it(the lifetime alignment) again
