No Camber adjustment?

[SVXgarcia]

I went to get an alignment and I was told I had no camber adjustment so my car might pull to the right? and it actually does only during take off. What do I do to fix the problem?

Try another alignment shop...you can get up to 1.5 degrees of camber (+ or -) on the front wheels. You'll have to have camber bolts put in on the rear as the stock rear bolts don't allow for any camber adjustment.

Camber has very little to do with a vehicle pulling to one side. There would have to be a large camber difference between the front wheels to cause any noticeable drift. Normally a 1.5° difference would squeak by on either FWD or AWD vehicles.

If you have a pull only during acceleration that is known as 'torque steer' and is usually caused by unequal axle shaft lengths (does not apply to Subaru), broken/shifted engine mounts, loose front end parts or accident damage. Of course, high-powered cars, especially when one front wheel is spinning during hard acceleration, will normally experience this. It then becomes known as 'use your noodle'.

If you have an AWD SVX and have this problem you'll also want to check to see if you actually have AWD operating, as your transfer clutches may be burned out.

Or you're driving on different size tires....

Or you're driving on a 30 degree banked road...

Or you have had way too much to drink to get behind the wheel of an SVX

My guess is they were talking about toe not camber.

Thanks for ur responses. I think it might have been because my 4WD wasn't working, I just got my car back after a tranny rebuild and a differential replacement, but I haven't really driven it like before(flooring it at the light!)
