WOW... All the time from experts like Grady and Chuck... 120 posts... and your still with the same mechanic and still talking about settling bushings.. and still probably havent had a proper alignment and corner balance... they need to be done together...
I can tell you I did a complete Elephant install myself... parts alone were 3k... and when I had the alignment done, the CB was off... way off... it drives straight as an arrow... it is a street car... porsche designed the car to get a CB... if they didnt want you to get one.. the factory wouldnt recommend it...
why do you bother to bring up your issue on pelican if you just ignore all the experts... i am no expert... but you should probably get a new mechanic and do what people like Grady tell you to do... sounds to me like you have moved into brakes... your mechanic is enjoying taking your money im sure...
If the car didnt do the drifting and wobbling before your install... then its not tires and brakes... its directly related to what was done...

The situation is somewhat improved, but car still drifts to the right, and the left wheel still wobbles at full left lock (although a bit less noticeably). Mechanic thinks it's a dragging right caliper. He suggested new tires and a caliper rebuild.
