my 03 evo VIII Pulls

when i got my evo it was allready cambered and i dident think it would be a problem but i have noticed that my car goes through tires like crazy and it pulls randomly on straight roads especialy roads with grooves and alot of ware and/or sag.

is there a way i can raise it back up to factory settings without ruining the springs on there or having to buy a whole new suspension?

You need to reduce negative camber and recheck toe.

Randomley pulling on roads with grooves is totally normal. Just have an alignment done to factory spec.

so the car pulling into grooves and stuff has nothing to do with the cambering? because my eclipse never did that and it too was AWD

on the inside. the front wheels sit like this / \




And yes. i keep my hands on the wheel lol. when it boosts it goes dead forward though. so i can drive with 1 hand and shift with the other, lol.



Oh! and another thing.... no matter what if im realy getting on it my 3rd gear grinds a tiny bit. i am a good driver and i like to think i know how to shift properly but it dosent matter how i shift it grinds that gear a little bit. it only happens when im tearin *** though.
