Went to corner balance and...

I'm in the process of aligning my car after installing neatrix bushings (awesome so far, highly recommend them). For me, aligning is a week to two week process as I narrow in on the exact settings, esp in the rear. I like to drive it between changes before I consider the next small adjustment.

So with the rear camber, toe and ride height 'close' I put it on the scales. Couldn't believe the numbers, this is the closest I've ever seen!



I'm also happy with the weight considering I have A/C, tools and the widebody with large tires.

Unfortunately, this is not with me sitting in it, not sure I can transfer any more weight to the right side though.

Were the sway bars disconnected?

No, but I 'balance' the bars so they aren't twisted with the weight on the wheels.

BTW, I love the feel with the neatrix bushings! Firm but not jarring.

Hey, I just thought I'd chime in with something that could save you a ton of money on alignments. We (meaning Pelican, of course) are now offering a couple of products that make doing home and track alignments super quick and easy. Smart Strings and Smart Camber were developed by Craig Watkins who was the chief engineer for Flying Lizard Motorsport. Smart Strings lets you set your toe and the Smart Camber is a super easy to read digital camber gauge. They can be used with pretty much any car too. Check them out.

I'm guessing from your note you know you need to disconnect the bars, half gas, full oil, etc and have your weight in your driver's seat to get accurate figures.

As far as left-to-right weight transfer you might move your battery over to the smuggler's box.
