Default skunk2 camber kit questions...

well my camber kit came in today, but i had a question.

it has no directions, and their webpage has no downloads. i know how to replace the A-Arm but it doesnt inform me on the proper way of adjusting the kit to Zero out my camber. anyone have any information?

thanks

trial and error bro, it may take a few times but you will get it... i put the balljoint as far out as a could first, then gradually backed off untill it was good. and make you sure you get some serious leverage on that alen head b/c you dont want the balljoint sliding on you when youre driving... tighten it up real well.

If you haven't changed the height of your car and you know your camber is fine just place the ball joint in the same place as your stock upper arm. This should put it in exactly the same place as you have it. If you have it dropped take it to someone for an alignment.

First thing is to throw the allen head bolts in the garbage and get some stainless steel bolts to replace them with. The allen head strip very easy.

well i plan on having it aligned, but if they Dont know how to change it (have to explain it to them, as there are no 'tuner shops' who know anything in my town) thats why i was asking how you adjust it. also why would i buy a camber kit if i didnt have negative camber? thats just kinda stupid....
thanks for the info so far

You might want to call Jotech or Alamo motorsports. They could probably help you out.
