I recently dropped the Eibach Pro Kit in my PT Cruiser, along with replacing the bushings with the Energy Suspensions Master Kit (LOTS of rubber in THAT suspension, linkages galore in the rear...). A

I thought crash bolts were illegal in SCCA street classes. Please correct me if Im wrong. Trey Walker "too many Miata projects......." www.miatanut.net

Yes, I'd start with reducing the front toe. Don't forget the rear toe, as it can try to rotate the rear end one direction, which feels like front end pull the other direction. I would not suspect cam

Consider yourself corrected. If the manufacturer authorizes the use of camber adjustment bolts ("crash"bolts) in the vehicle service manual or in an official TSB as some manufacturers have, then thei

Hi Ken - honestly, it does not sound to me that the alignment is an issue - IMHO, if the car is that sensitive to toe, it'd pull left OR right under acceleration/deceleration. I'd put money on the p-

Just get the car aligned before guessing what's wrong with it. There are many variables that determine how a car tracks and feels. Have fun with the PT! I autocrossed my PT Turbo once last year and i

Actually, I've had the crash bolts in separately from everything else, and the bushings in without the spring kit or the crash bolts present. I experienced nothing but the normal "jitteryness" of a c

You bring up a good point. I hadn't thought that anything might be loose, but I can certainly see how that could be possible. I'm going to zero up the toe and camber by replacing the stock clevis bol

No offense meant, but after reading this dialog, it sounds to me like there are some vehicles that are meant to be AXed and some that are not, and it seems the PT is one of the latter. It may be time

The only time I experienced this type of handling, it was on a 1991 Chrysler minivan. When new it was fine, but after a few months it would start to pull under power, but coast and brake straight. A
