9679, Problem with bad camber Posted by mitsudsr, May-28-02 07:03 AM
I lowered my car with some sprint springs about a year or more ago and when my first set of tires started to wear real bad I put on a camber kit. Well the front came out great no problems, but the rear will not come out of neg. camber. I have 4 realy fat washers on it now and that is supposed to be for a 3inch drop. Well my drop is only like a 2inch drop. Wtf is the problem why do I still have neg. camber now I will need tires again very soon and they are very expensive any suggestions? Please I have no idea anything will help. Thanks, Patrick

How negative is it? Stock setting is -1 degree camber for rears. You need to rotate your tires regularly.

The rear camber mod of 4 washers will not correct enough for a 2" drop. My H&R's lowered me about 1.75" in the rear, and the 4 were really not enough, i had to use a few more on one side to get it right. I'm somewhat skeptical with having more than 4 washers on there, so i will eventually get the ingalls kit for the rear. And the stock setting for rear camber, like mentioned above,is around -1 degrees. That is still a somewhat noticable slanting of the wheel when looking at the rear from a small distance..

I have the ingals kit in the rear as well as on the front. The rear kit comes with washers. I am not to sure about adding more washers either. What tire pressure are you running in the rear because I was running about 40psi. Now I lowered it to about 35psi to get a bigger contact patch so it will hopefully not only wear on the inside. I dont know if this is to good of an idea though. Patrick

if you don't have camber adjusters you should get em. They come with some monster washers for extreme drops and you can adjust the camber more.

XtremeRS How many washers do you have on your car now?? how did you find out if it was close to right? did you just keep taking it back to the alignment shop and have them check it? (that would get expen$ive!) or did you just do it visually? Ive got a Pro-Kit and i did the $15 mod and i can see that its way out still. Im thinking about adding some more washers...
