Tutorial: Rear tire alignment

[TonyPSchaefer]

It sounds spammish but he's got 34 posts in the past, some of which seem spammish while others seem to provide real and helpful information.

I ain't touching it.

Dave:

Could you please provide some links for information on the Eibach "rear alignment kits"? I see that you've posted similar comments in another post where someone was asking about progressive springs for the Prius.

Thanks

Eibach does list an alignment kit for the NHW-20, but no photos or other info:

Eibach Springs - Performance Suspension, Lowering Springs, Shocks, Sway Bars, Coil-Overs and Wheel Spacers!


There is also another kit available from SPC which we have discussed in another thread:

SPC Application Search

Eibach (www.eibach.com) has inexpensive but high quality front and rear alignment kits which allow much greater adjustment and control over alignment, which is severely restricted in stock form. In addition, they offer high quality progressive springs, at very reasonable price compared to other suppliers, for those who want to greatly improve the handling.

Thread Resurrection... Apologies...

Here's the manual for the Prius (Gen I & Gen II ??) Shim Kit. It's the "align the numbers and cut the bolt holes" type of full plate shim. It does mention that you need to shave off some of the inner ring (look like about 1/8 inch) in order for it to fit. Not quite a "made for Prius" part, but may be close enough.

PS. The word "Copyright" does not appear anywhere in the manual or I wouldn't have posted it.

Off topic, but Copyright is implied whether stated or not.

That said, I doubt they'd mind you posting their user manual since it would only promote sales of their product.

True enough... Mods, since the file is not hosted on PriusChat.com you guys are in the clear. Feel free to axe the link to my web server at your discretion.
