quick stupid question

[(Q)240]

this sounds dumb but how do i adjust the camber on the front?im trying to get some negative camber in the front..i have coilovers with adjustable front camber & looked to try finding how but i cant find anything that says how to do it...i know its something with these screws but where do i move them

You would loosen the screws and move the whole unit towards the center of the car.

However, without an alignment rack, you have no clue how much camber you're adjusting. I would take the car to a shop and tell them what you want the camber set at and have them change it for you. It will be accurate that way.

really?

lol...

loosen them with an allen key, then push the wheel in the desired direction. If you get to a point where the nut is against the strut tower, remove them and put them into one of the other holes. Make sure you don't forget to tighten them.

Also, those tick marks are for you're own knowing. They don't really tell camber degree, for that you'll need to go get an alignment or get some kind of compass and measure it yourself.

Find a racer and use there caster / camber gauge. or buy a cheap one $160.00

camber is very easy to measure at home if you have a level and ruler.

Well you dont want too much Neg. camber...you will wear out ur tires faster during normal driving conditions...
