Default another spc camber kit issue



just intalled my spc camber kit in the rear. my caber was about negative 2.35 on the right and negative 2.45 on the right. so when i re-installed everything i adjusted the top bolt a lil bit on each side to compensate for the -2.35/-2.45 before i go get the allignment, but now when im driving it feels like the back end has a mind of its own, it feels like its fishtailing.

i thought since i kinda corrected some of the negative camber it would drive better?

since i did this is the toe way off or something!? please helpppp!

Well, theres several things at work here..

Did you tighten the kit to keep it from adjusting on its own all the time?

Did you know it can adjust toe, caster, and camber if not properly set because of where it hooks in?


Its its acting "squirrely", I am willing to bet its loose and if you push/pull on the tire it has movement. In that case you need to tighten them.. But why not save yourself the hassle and just go get the alignment done.. If you bother to put on the kit.. Then, finish the JOB

You should be fine after the alignment. When you dismantle your suspension, you will usually throw everything out of wack.

Any time you change camber settings it will affect toe - usually more toe out when you reduce negative camber (or increase positive camber, to put it another way).

And toe out in the rear can make for some pretty white-knuckle handling characteristics . . .

I had that problem awhile back when I first got mine done. If it is wet out BE VERY CAREFUL. you would be surpirsed how quick the back end will come out on you
