hey guys new here to the Infiniti seen I'm mechanical inclined and when I say that I mean I don't pay anybody to do anything for me lol so this topic here I have not seen much about it and when you do find something its always something with the rear of the car my question is this. is it possible to do a camber adjustment on the front suspension usually there are ways the adjust camber but I have not seen anything that is possible it really looks like it is none adjustable and I have to buy aftermarket upper control arms its driving me nuts because I'm going through tires every few months I'm kinda old school so I have done alignments in the past with just some regular string and a few jack stands and has always workout great if there is anybody that can give a right answer that would be great


the car:

Yes, if I recall you will need new arms. The stock stuff can't be adjusted...from what I remember.

I've done a string alignment as well (toe & camber), but that was on a Maxima with a solid rear axle. I haven't chanced it with a multi-link rear like ours.

How is the health of your upper control arms and spring/strut?
About the tires, are both the left and right one affected? Are they wearing on the outer edge, inner edge or just flat across the treads?

Eibach make adjustable upper control arms they should solve your camber issue, I have them on my 06 which is also lowered on Eibach springs and I have 20 X 9.5 wheels all the way around with no problems. You can install them yourself but you will have to have the car taken to a shop to do the alignment.

I installed the SPC Caster/Camber arms this past weekend....to adjust all you need to do is turn either or both bars and lock the nuts in place.

I just did coilovers all the way around so I need to get an alignment but I'm waiting for things to settle. So far I'm still trying to get the adjustments to a point where I'm not vibrating at high speed 100 km/h+.

So there, you have 2 options.

Although our tires might wear a little faster if we don't keep up with the alignments (compounded with tramlining tendencies), I'm still curious as to why the OP has such bad camber issues while the vast majority of us with stock suspensions aren't eating tires in short months.

thanks for all the replies guy good to know we have people to support us in our builds I found out the yea they are deff not adjustable you do have to buy camber arms if your camber is out of wack a lot or you have to replace spring and struts to raise the car all the way back up not going to happen lol thanks for the help
