    Dropped The Rolla

    I dropped the Rolla finally last night. How long should I wait for an alignment to be done, a week or so to let the springs settle? And also the passenger front side fender gap is a bit larger than the drivers side gap, why so?

    You cant really eyeball a wheel alignment. Not only do you have camber to worry about but toe too. And if the camber doesn't wear stuff out, the toe misalignment will...

    You posted this thread on 8/10 and it's 8/18 today. I'm sure you've given it plenty of time to settle by now so go get an alignment.
