my rear diver side tire has always need a camber....and it wasnt even dropped when i got it, its dropped now about 1 1/2 inch, so it butterflies even worst, so my question is, if i install a camber will it go all the way in?...or will it just go as far as when i got it?..

 

anybody?

 

c'mon now anyone?

 

goddammit...i really need help on this one

 

Your query is kinda vague. Are you saying that your car was cambering when you got it, then you dropped it and it's cambering more? Now you want to know if you can get a camber kit to zero it out like its supposed to be?

If you install a camber kit and get an alignment afterwards then you should be zeroed out like it's supposed to be, not slightly cambering like the car was when you bought it.

DISCLAIMER: I prolly didn't use the right terms, but I'm pretty sure the substance of my post is correct.

he got the idea across
every camber kit ive seen is fullly adjustable and replaces stock parts so it could set a completly different align from stock easily

 

yeah thanx, i was kinda worried that it wouldnt go to zero, i heard that acura rear camber is -2 is that right?..even so, my car was way off when i bought it, how strange, it wasnt even dropped and the rear driver side tire is looking a little towards the left . also, not only is it butterflying but its going to the left, they can fix that right?

 

not a very clean picture, its from my phone...but you can see that it needs a camber and its facing towards the lefta little....this is the only tire that is doing this.

&lt;center&gt;

&lt;/center&gt;

 

^That seems more of something is damaged.

 

washers for the win

id rather do it the right way....

and it was hit there before, but i just want to know if its fixable

 

washers are the right way. i think its safer to use washers as a spacer rathher than shitty flimsy adjustable aftermarket rods....

 

dude on my integra that i recently bought the camber is worse than yours, mine is like 4 degrees off in the front and 3 degrees in the back. im getting camber kits which are costing me about 400 for front and back. your lucky yours is only in the rear.

 

washers and longer bolts will fit this

omni power sells a kit for cheap, id look into that

If you want to do it the right way, then you need to fix the damaged parts, not just throw some washers on there in hopes of a "band-aid" fix.

I can't fathom why someone would repair a wrecked car but leave damaged suspension components on there.

There is the possibility that if the upper camber arm on the rear suspension is the *only* thing damaged, then you could replace those with adjustable upper links and kill two birds with one stone: fix the suspension and gain camber adjustability in the back.

However in most cases a camber kit is not needed. I would just fix it with OEM parts.

 

I say do what he said replace the damage parts first, I had the same problem, bent trailing arm, replaced it got 0 for the win

 

nothing is damaged..like i said the car was hit there before...they replaced everything...the frame might me bent just a tad...

 

hehe i see go with bolts and washers by omni!

a tad is a tad too much. If you had negative rear camber on stock suspension (providing you tried to get it aligned) then something is definitely damaged and that needs to be fixed/replaced.

i havent got it aligned when it was stock...i just want to know if i put the camber will it go to -2...i believe thats the stock negative camber on acuras no?

 

No thats alot more negative camber than stock. Theres no way to know what a camber kit will do on your car if you have bent suspension components. You can either replace whats messed up or give it a try and hope for the best.

 

You should go get it checked/fixed anyway. Its been hit there and thats the only place that was cambering when you got so it would just make sense that something is damaged there.

 

so is -2 the stock negataive on the rear?

 

nope..
