Camber Adjustment

[indeedy man]

hi guys,

i have excessive tyre wear on the inside of my tyres. especially on the left or passenger side of the car. what do i need to get so that my camber can be adjusted front and back? i have heard that adjustable bushes can be bought? or is it better to go for an adjustable arm? where is the best place to source these parts?

i think they said that the camber was at -2 degrees.

thanks for your help if this has been covered sum where else jus let me know thanks

FRONT: I'd recommend adjustable upper arms. I used the JJR dog-bone style on my R32 GTR. They looked well made, and I had no problems with them at all. The offset bushes for the front are horrendously expensive and wear quickly.

REAR: either adjustable upper arms or offset bush kits. If going arms, you need to replace both upper arms (normally called the upper control arm and traction rod) to avoid bump steer problems.

bushes are a bit cheaper and work OK on the rear - again one bush needs to be fitted to each upper arm to avoid problems with bump steer, but don't offer alot of correction. expect about 0.75 to 1 degree of camber correction from an offset bush kit. you can use two sets of bushes if needed and put them in both ends of each arm, but by then you've paid almost as much as adjustable arms are worth - probably more if you're not fitting them yourself!
