Suspension Is your ride slammed to the ground? Did you lift it so high you need a ladder to get in?

Default Alignment

So I got my car lowered awhile ago and I've got this problem that I believe is from lowering it. Whenever I hit any water or snow my back end (feels like the back tires at least) kind of sway out of control for a bit. I also noticed that when I took off my summer tires which were brand new, the back two were worn alot on the inner tire compared to the front tires. Now I've been told that I need an alignment to fix the sway when I hit the snow. A friend of mine said his sisters car (Civic) had the same problem and that the alignment is what fixed it. He told me that they got parts called "rear adjust toe arms" for the alignment because she needed aftermarket parts to align it correctly since it was lowered. He told me I should get the same parts but I cannot find them anywhere for my car.

1998 Spyder GS-T

So my question is do I need after market parts to align it correctly and what are they called (ex. the equivalent to the rear adjust toe arms)

Any help would be fantastic

Thanks!

You need a camber kit.

It could be a broken knuckle in one of your back tires. You could replace the knuckle if they have a knuckle kit for your car, otherwise your going to have to replace the whole bushing.
