front tire looks in more?

[ka24deColt]

i dont know why but one of my rims up front looks like its set in more than the other side?? i dont think its just the way it looks cause the camber either.. it just seems like its sitting about half an inch in more? does anyone know why this could be? and also whats the best way to fix the front camber problem? i have the back fixed just not the front because theres not camber kits for up front?

If it is indeed a camber issue, get you a set of eccentric bolts. Pretty much every performance shop has these to some capacity. Shouldn't run you more than $30 shipped.You will need an alignment after wards, but they will solve your problem very economically.

eccentric bolts dont work up front, you need Upper Mounts for your front struts, ones like these

I assure you camber bolts work very well in the front. A single pair will correct up to 2* of camber, while two pairs will correct just over 3*.Camber plates, for a street driven car are not necessary. And assuming you know how to set up your own car, are not neccesary for a track car. All camber plates offer is ease of use.And of course the bling factor.

Ok. So where do you put the camber bolts? Im not saying you dont kno what you are talking about but i even tried to fix my front camber and couldnt inless i bought camber plates. Even on alldata it says front camber can not be adjusted.

If you have ever seen a cam-bolt, you will notice it has a lobe similar to a camshaft, also, it will be a bit thinner. If it is a quality piece, it will be made from tool steel and is very strong.You replace the uppermost stock bolt with the eccentric. The lower bolt is loosened just enough to to shift the strut on the spindle. As you turn the eccentric bolt, you will see the spindle moving in and out. This is how the camber is adjusted. Its not rocket science.Think of a camshaft acting on a rocker arm. Same concept.When the appropriate adjustment is obtained, you hold the bolthead with a wrench, and proceed to tighten the nut, so as not to loose your desired setting.

And im guessing this is on stock struts? Because i have KYB GR-2s and they have almost no movement with the bolts loose.

I used these for a while on my AGX's and GR 2's before that.My coilovers came with camber plates, and I am still running the eccentric bolts. I had my suspension guy zero out the fronts, and mark off my preffered camber settings on the plates. 1.5 and 2.75 degrees neg.
