So in response to a bump against a curb a while ago, I installed the ECS adjustable arms on the lower arms, and a KMAC kit on the upper control arms last night. I contacted the curb on the lip of the passenger side wheel and thought perhaps I bent a control arm. When the car was sitting on the ground before the install, the rears would point to the right, like the car was walking sideways. I thought this would correct the problem. Well, after the install, it still faces the same direction. I tried all amounts of correction by the ECS bars and the KMAC, but nothing worked. Did I shift the subframe over by bumping the curb? I looked very, very closely at everything beneath, but nothing is bent. I removed the subframe bolts, but none are bent. I have included illustrations to show what I mean. What do you guys think? I could use some help...

Thanks, John M.

Hard to tell without getting it on the rack and having an experienced guy look at it. There are slots at the connection of the trailing arm that can adjust the toe... "Maybe" a combo of all three can get you back.....There is supposed to be a little toe in BTW..

which leads me to believe that something is out of alignment with the whole rear subframe.

out quickly.

take it to a good alignment shop. with the Kmacs and adjustable tire rod, you should be able to correct your problem.
