    360 heavier then 318?

    yea, and the inside of my tire is bald. haha i need new steering link bushings and lower balljoints then ill raise it a bit then its off to the alignment shop when they first aligned it they didnt let it sit down all the way so i think thats why my camber was off to begin with

    what car? my duster is the same way, i blamed it on having so much torque it just twisted everything. if i had that much motor anyhow
