Well I found out why there are more adjustable control arm camber kits than the joint camber kits... Found out the hard way. I'm slammed and cannot adjust my camber haha....

Anyone have images of what they had to do to control these kinda camber kits....

New on left, stock on right.

I figure I'm going to have to take some metal out of the control arm to allow it to avoid hitting things like the strut tower.... As well as the frame, but I think I need some heavy mods to the frame.

 

Dont chop up your frame. Just get OEM replacement.

 

OEM Replacement what? I need camber adjustment for cheap or free. I have these new camber adjustment joints and I need to use them. I am slammed around 4" or more and I don't want to lift the car. But I need the camber adjustment. I was able to do 0 Camber but at the cost of the control arm hitting the strut tower and getting snagged in a "tapering" of two pieces of the stock sheet metal"...

I need to know how to make what I have work.

 

you really dont -need- to touch your camber.. just make sure your toe is good

 

raise the car up then? just a thought...

 

Why would I do that???
Yeah then I'll just go through tires and I'm obviously not rich, Or else I'd just leave it be and replace tires every month.


Nevermind I moded the control arm like I was thinking and problem solved. Slammed exactly where I want it and almost 0 negative camber. Looks amazing and thank god wont kill my tires anymore.

 

no you seriously dont need to f with your camber, you will cause more probs then you'll fix.. just get an alignment and you'll be fine.

i had a bagged toyota pick up on 17's with some crazy negative camber. got an alignment and the toe zeroed out and never had to deal with this camber wear you speak of.
RESPECT THE TOE!!!

 

Wow, I would love to be introduced to your tires. Extreme negative camber in a slammed vehicle causes bad tire wear on the inside. this is why Nitto (tire manufacture) makes the Neo Gen's for Slammed Vehicles with Negative camber issues. Hard tread compound on the inside for longer life under the extreme conditions and softer tread on the outside for maximum grip. Even with an alignment the tire wears uneven. Also with as much camber as a slammed car gets, less tire is touching the ground, aka less grip. I like grip. I like Tread. I don't like Camber. Hell nobody does. Except you two. Thats why companies make camber kits. Claim it a myth or not, its tire wear non the less. Even with us cool people with lifetime unlimited Alignments.

 

you can do what you want man. I just know I never had a problem with uneven wear. if your concerned about grip camber is your friend anyways. when the car turns more of the tire will be in contact then if it was straight up and down.

 

camber does wear your tires, not just toe. Camber wears your tires slowly. Being slammed creates different issues tire wear is one. When your slammed your car will have exessive negative camber witch WILL wear your tires fast, no matter if your toe is 0'ed out.

I would love to see to pics of a car lower 4+inches with almost 0 camber.

 

oh course its going to wear at neg, but not nearly as bad as toe being off plus the camber will. I had my 2g eclipse dropped 4 inches.. the camber was about -3 to 4 all around. when the toe was off my tires would get chewed up in a summer, once I got the toe sorted (had a broken toe adjuster ><) my tires lasted 2 summers before I sold the car.

 

-3-4 is quite a bit of negative camber.
-2 degrees is about all most people would run including myself, that is going towards excessive negative camber.

 

oh yeah it was pretty dumb lol. -2 is usually where end up on a 2 inch drop.. not all the time, but from what ive noticed.

 

Can you get camber by adding stuff, like an extended ball joint can get you 1.5in, then you add some aftermarket uca's, and that gains you another 3in. Does that mean you can have 3+1.5in (4.5in) of camber ajustment = Oni camber
