Ok, i've got a '88 crx, lowered a couple running King springs, GAB shocks and 205/40/17" tyres. Camber is about 2 degrees each side.
Anyway, the problem is that my alignment only stays straight for about a month or two before it starts to toe out again. All of the differnt mechanics i get to look at it claim that nothing is loose and that it all goes back to place fine. I never bump kerbs and i'm constantly avoiding inspection plates and holes etc. so im getting a bit pissed about having to get it looked at so often.
So yeah, any ideas would be great.

Cheers,
Gaff

its lowered about 2". I personally dont think a camber kit is gonna help too much though, as that shouldnt affect toe.
might just get another alignment and get them to put some threadlock on there.

if your toe is easily put out of wack , then i would suggest replacing the rear control arms that connect to the rear trailign arm. They must be worn or the actual trailign arm bushes are worn , vibrating them back out of spec. Jack up the read end and check for excessive movement and take it from there :)
