#20942, "Is my rear camber causing this vibration?"


          

Well guys, i think i have about a 1 degree neg rear camber. Im dropped 2" on Sprint Springs w/ KYB GR-2s, and having a problem. Everytime i reach a speed above 85+ my car starts to virbrate badly. I was wondering if my camber is probablly the cause? Tires are in good condition, but I was going to attempt to fix this with the $15 Camber Kit. Let me know if theres anything else. Thanks.

I don't see how bad camber specs could be in any way responsible for vibration.

Things that could cause vibration are: unbalanced wheels, warped rotors, loose lugnuts, bent wheels, uncentered wheels (not centered with the hub), blown shocks, etc.. It's most likely one of the first two.

If you didn't get an alignment after you lowered your car, your toe out will be siginifcant, meaning your car will ride dangerously (not to mention eat your tire alive). Get an alignment ASAP.
