Default suspension question

ok i just recently got my car lowered now its pulling to the left i got alignment done but still nothing changed, but i mean you can see left tire kinda sticking out and the right one isnt, so my question is this a alignment issue or do i need to put a camber kit in the front? i lowered it about 2 inches .. the guy at the alignment place is telling me somethin else and performance place is telling me i need alignment not camber kit? anyone have any ideas plz respond thankss

I didn't think that camber would make your car pull. I thought it just wears on your tires really bad.

first, get a camber kit for the side where the tire is sitting at an angle.

second, don't go back to the performance shop. anybody with half a brain with knowledge about cars would know that NO alignment can straighten out a wheel more than about 4-5 degrees. most likely, your tire is at a 10-15 degree angle. if its only on one side, then that would cause the car to pull.

my question is....how is it only one side? i would check to make sure the installation was correct. if the camber is off on one side, it should be about the same on the other side.

if you look at the car in the front you can tell left side tire is sticking out and the right one isnt.. so is the alignment place right i do need a camber kit? or is this somethin that can be fixed w/o it?

do you mean sticking out as in that it is at an angle or that the whole tire is sticking out?

well that is definetly camber, but i don't know why it is only on one side. An alignment is not going to fix that problem. You will need to get a camber kit.
