wtf is wrong with my car suspension?

[Sleepy Civic DX]

well, if it means anything, my 06 type S was out of alignment after 10k miles. The dealer fixed that under warranty. I thought that was insane that it went out that quick. I think something was loose because the car is feeling tight as $%#@ right now :worthy:

when I was in college, they taught us to have it checked every 6000 miles, I check mine every 8,000 miles

anything that "jars" your suspension knocks the car slowly out of alignment, pot holes, speedbumps etc. And that is on a stock car, thats not taking into consideration a lowered/modified car with an aggresive driver behind the wheel.

well i took it in today adn found that the passanger side camber kit was frozen and they couldnt adjust it so i bought a new one and put it in and i put it in right now so..tom i will have to take it back in for the alignment cuz as you all know u can only adjust it close not perfect. Yea jessi just let me know when so i can take you round the block or something so you can tell if you like those springs personally i do though

I'm not a fan of lowering springs on stock shocks...

after you get it alinged check your suspention and make sure everything is tight...when i got mine done i drove it home and checked my camber kit and they didnt tighten some of the nuts on the rear kit. so they might be backing out over time.

this makes me unhappy.
with that little of drop, you probably dont need the camber kit. it shouldnt affect it negatively though, you can still easily get it in spec with it on there. the only conclusion i can come to is looseness of the nuts. as for having it check every 6k, that is ludacris. that is a scam to make money. unless you hit a curb, a very LARGE pothole, or something else extreme, your alingment will NOT go out of spec.

That is what I was taught in college, I am just stating a fact

I also work with wheels and tires every day, trust me alignments do go out of spec that fast. I have the privelige* (spell?) of explaining this to customers.

If you have some personal insight please share it, but do not accuse me of scamming people. I take pride in my job and what I do.

i do alingments every day. they dont go out on their own. it just doesnt happen. unless you leave something loose, it will stay in spec for many thousand miles, i mean like until you knock it out. an alingment "check" is recommended every time you buy new tires unless it is wearing funny. most people buy tires around 30k-60k, not 6k. thats not a fact that you stated, thats actually what we call an opinion, my response is also an opinion, and educated one. i never accused you of scamming people, if people need an alingment, you print of their actual measurements, show them to the customer, explain what each measure is and does, if they want to spend the 50-70 dollars to have it done, do it, if not, leave it alone.:monroe:

alright man, we are getting off topic. we both have different opinions on this, so lets drop it.

well..regardless of all the alignment fights i just bought the three year unlimited milage thingy so ill be gettin like every other month or so lol im sure they will grow to love me. As far as making an adjustment on a frozen camber kit trust me i tested to see if they were full of bs man i could not budge that shit i have no idea wat happend to it. Luckily adrenaline had one in stock for a DC 5 so i put it in last night....damn i should be doing alignments i think i got it pretty damn close with just my own eyeball lol
