Camber kit done but........

[Drift Spec]

Got Camber kit put in and wheel balance&alignment

Note: It took them 4 hrs and mega headaches to get the camber kit in... big big job.

Camber fixed i think

Rear Camber

from: -0.54' Left and -1.25' Right

to -0.46 both sides

Front Camber

from: -1.45' Left and -1.35' Right

to: 1.38' Left to -1.27' Right

Front inners were so warn down , will the current camber settings fix this?

BTW I still get shudder at 80km/hr ..... what else would cause this, im sure they did a wheel balance.

a wheel balance should fix the shudder, but if they did it ans it is still there no idea.

What took the time in the camber kits, the rear should be easy but unsure of the front.

I would get the tyres rotated to try and save the them.

hmm maybe they didnt do it , doesnt show on the invoice but he didnt charge me for something so thought it was that... i dunno my call them tomorrow

umm had to take car to pedders to get some of the bushes out , also make up some special tool or something hehe.

all up with wheel balance was $195.

Hey Drift Spec - i had a camber kit put on the rear of my silvia for the same reason... 17's cost too much to scrub out! lol

was it all done professionally?? shudder would be tyre balance for sure... are your tyres still unevenlly worn, (ie u didnt get new tyres yet?) besides the balance, the different camber angle with the tyres may also be a factor.... as far as the ride of the car... pending on how worn the tyres are...

a guy that i knew of, use to block his lamborghini cont up off the ground when he wasnt using it, to avoid any little flat spots on the tyres... bit much if u ask me! but i guess with crazy wide tyres the tyre centres would tend to get flat spots if it sat too long...

Drift Spec, if you are going back in for a balance, I would ask them to check that they are using max adjustment on the front.

The kit is supposed to allow +/-0.6 deg, or a bit over 0.30'.

I would have expected your camber coming back to about 1deg,15'.

Might be worth checking/asking?

Yeah still got same tyres so I gather they have worn uneven due to camber before... getting new ones soon to fix it up.

Yeah I though camber was still a bit out, they put the full kit in the front and half kit in the back ... back is good now but yeah would like front to 1.15 rather than 1.25 plus.

Also the toe arm on front is seized, he couldnt get it full adjusted so steering wheel is a little off centre but not really noticable.
