Need Help...Si FSB Installation

ct20 · 10-19-2007, 11:21 PM

Hey guys..I know most of you are out on the town...I am at home trying to diagnose why after the installation of Si FSB on LX sedan...the car is pulling to the right...seems like the "toe" is off...but it only started pulling to the right after I installed the fsb last weekend...
I got home tonight and put the car on the ramps...sure enough the inside of the right tire is worn a little...

Does anyone know how to line up the fsb or has anyone else installed one of these in the past...?
I thought I had the bar pretty much centered, but now I am thinking it may stagger to the left a little...

Need help...please.....

The FSB, really shouldnt effect tire wear, unless you installed it upside down? Even then it wouldnt effect tire wear, sound more like a toe issue, and teh added Rollcouple distribution to the front of the vechile accentuated it.

It depends on how many MHz it runs at

I thought it might be a toe issue also...but maybe I just didn't notice it until i installed the fsb. I was just reading about alignment on another thread..since I guess this will be the next step, without camber bolts for the front, or spc camber kit for the rear, what is the best alignment I can get? -.8 for front something near that for the rear?
Thanks again for your help...and btw...you were right, the si fsb doesn't do near what the si rsb does for the car...Even thought about putting the stock lx fsb back under the car...
i am going to try to get an alignment, if that doesn't fix it, I will put the lx fsb back under the car and just sell the si fsb...

Put the LX back. No camber can be adjusted with a stock setup camber kits are needed.

I didn't listen to you the first time when you said the fsb wasn't worth the money...this time I am listening, the Si fsb has been taken out and LX fsb has been re-installed. I liked having just the Si rsb installed, it reduced body roll and understeer, but I guess I though the fsb would help body roll. the fsb did some, but not what I expected. I did make sure it wasn't installed upside down, and it was not..I do make mistakes every once in a while, but this wasn't one of them.
Thanks again, highrev1..I appreciate it.
