Default camber kit problem

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!

When you adjust the camber, the toe is affected too, and that's probably making it squirrelly. Dont worry too much, just drive it carefully and when you get an alignment it will be fixed. If its too unstable, dial a degree or so of negative camber back in temporarily.

^^ Agree. Get your alignment done and you should be fine. When you take your suspension apart and put it back together, your alignment will be out of wack.

Email me if you have any further questions. We are one of the largest camber kit dealers in the country.
