eccentric camber bolts/ camber adj kits. HELP HELP HELP

[musclesgabe]

ok i have all my stuff in, shock/struts, springs, tc rods, anyway i need to correct my camber whenever i lower my car.my question is , how hard is it to put the front camber adj kits on, or the eccentric bolts with bushings on? has anyone done these before?help help help pleeeeeeeaseany pointer on how to do this would be awesome

As far as I know the front camber adjestments are not essentric bolts, the rear are...Camper is changed in the front by either slotting the mounting holes or sotting the bolt hole on the strut where it attaches to the steering knuckle...Best way would probably be to buy this for the front however..I havent intalled these my self but if you are assebling the strut from shocks and springs anyways it shouldnt be much harder then useing it in place of the old piece...

they do have eccentric bolts for the front, i had them on my previous car, they are the worst, they come loose and then you get messed up camber, i ended up with positive camber eventually. Just get camber plates.

eeeeeeeeeeee damn this is winding up to be so expensive. i might sell my struts and springs now

[Rosco]

what do you have? I might be in the market for a decent spring strut combo...

[raging panda]

Why? If its not too low, the alignment shop might be able to adjust it close to factory spec anyways, since most springs dont lower the car that much.

[musclesgabe]

first off , thank you panda for the help it won't be lower than 2 inches. the thing is, im doing the labor myself. to put the camber kit on , do you have to have the struts and stuff off? i don't wanna put my springs and struts on and then have to take them off to add another part? what goes into doing this project?

[musclesgabe]

ok wait, lemme ask that differently, if i put on my struts shocks, and springs, and then take it to a shop ( which i will have to do to get the front end alligned anyway) , will they be able to adj camber without taking everything off again and charging me for that?

ok,

the camber plate is the top perch for the springs on the struts, if i were you, i would wait until i got camber plates and put the whole assembly together, and then put the entire assembly on the car, that way you dont have to do the extra work of taking them back off to install the camber plates later. and youll be able to adjust front camber as soon as you bolt them on.

when a shop does an alignment, they shouldnt have to take anything off.

rear eccentric bolts dont really allow for much adjustment, if you really want adjustability, youre going to be looking at getting some RUCAS, which = $$$$

[musclesgabe]

thanks for the respond 240marcus

yeah thats y i was thinking about just getting some bolts for the front, and rotating my tires like every oil change. do you know how hard the essentric bolts are to put on?or how much it would be for the camber allignment?

[240marcuSX]

rotating your tires that often would help with different types of treadwear, but i doubt it would help that much with camber issues IF you have excessive camber all around the car, which you may have after lowering the car.

im not positive on the difficulty of the eccentric bolt installation, but it couldnt be too hard.

a four wheel alignment would cost about $40 (cheap) to $100
