In the big picture of all this, what you get after spending a good bit of time and money to do multiple suspension upgrades on this car is mediocre results. It will never be an IS300, etc. I...

rear camber is 1.0 degree negative on each side, with the left slightly more toe'd in than the right. A mechanic long ago said this would cause a slight pull to the left which makes sense. The SAI...

SAI out of spec: What's bent/broken?

First, I would not care about the SAI angle being off, but my car has had a slight pull for as long as I can remember. It has always measured 15.5 on the right, where it pulls, and close to 14...

Excuse me, can I hi-jack your thread? lol, j/k.

What is chassis foaming? I thought of doing SFC's, but never knew there were other options.

See my above post about the tires. You'd think with pretty even wear there would be no difference, but the pull was very severe and was completely reversed just by switching the wheels/tires. I...

That's what our cars should do 90% of the time. It seems like there might be a steering gear that can be adjusted to keep the car going a little straighter, not sure? I know tie rods, ball joints,...

Loosening the end links (what I did) should be similar to what you're doing; it would lessen the effect/alignment of the sway bar and control arm and allow more free movement. It definitely causes...

I mean the harder I push the throttle, the more it pulls to the right. When I'm not using it or I'm braking, the car drives fairly straight.
