Matt _Aero top_ Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Thinking of changing my bottom arms soon , but whats all this about camber adjustment cams i've been reading about in previous threads ? Are these the big bolts that go through the 2 bushes at the back ? Is this a job i can do myself or can i end up in a whole world of pain with incorrect camber ? is it easy to correct the camber if it needs re-doing ? and is this just like a getting the tracking done ?

Mike Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I think you need Alex/Digsy or CW for this type of thing...? perhaps wait till they're awake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Yes its those large bolts, the eccentric cams on them adjust camber. It appears easy to adjust after, but in reality it is best to take it to an alignment place to get it fully checked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt _Aero top_ Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Rob you ever been to an alignment place as im from sheffield too and was wondering where would be best ? and would i be better off re posting this thread in somewhere different to supra chat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 You've got 2 options, 1. Mark the position of the cams before you remove the old arms, fit the new ones in the same place and hope its close enough. 2. Mark the position of the cams before you remove the old arms, fit the new ones in the same place and take it for a suspension geometry check, whick should cost £60 - 80 for a 4 wheel check and adjust. Have a look at http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk to see if they recommend anyone near you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easy to correct the Camber positions... What is difficult is establishing new positions if they deviate from stock since most shops are scared to perform in this arena.... Are you retaining stock positions or is there something more adventurous blogged into the setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
