Camber Adjustment

Ha.... south park

no they dont but the top bolt hole for the knuckel in the coils dose give you the room to adjust camber. are you talking for stock struts?

Yeah, sorry I was referring only to the stock struts.

oh ok now it makes sense.

But forreals, i get a little moist when i see the those sonic hatches sitting that low!

Sorry if this has been explained elsewhere but i just got 2 of the camber/service bolts: PN:11561297. Is the nut any different from the existing one on the car? or do i need to purchase a specific nut?

-Thanks in advance

i aligned mine by taking a reamer an elongating the holes for the upper bolt it works till i get my coilovers but may not be a permanent fix especially if bolts are only 10 bucks

That's a fast way to trash a ream.......

The nut is the same

I think they specify new nuts since they are torqued hard, but the threads are indeed the same.

Pretty standard practice and what I would do if the ruleset allowed it. Nothing beats free

Thanks John, appreciate the confirmation

i use a Snap-on Carbide reamer same one i used for the last 5 years and it still cuts like new.

That's a little different then. I hate working with carbide. Well machining it anyways

as good as it holds a edge i'm sure machining it would be a b**ch

It's not the most Pleasant thing in the world, luckily I only did it for a very very short time and I hated every second of it... But from a tool stand point the stuff is amazing!

is camber adjustment necessary with eibach springs?

 

[$ub$onic]

I have slightly negative camber with my b&g but it is fine. I would assume theres would be the same

Yep there is some increased negative camber with the Eibachs whether It's within o.e.m. specs or not I'm not sure, haven't had mine aligned yet.

I do imagine they're in spec and certainly within acceptable street tolerances. Personally I like the added camber because it is more favorable for hard cornering.


Also after ~15,000 mi lowered and over 30k total and 1 rotate my tires are still wearing very well which is an indication of good toe and camber alignment.
