Adjust R35 (front) Camber

[LSX-438]

Has anyone adjusted the front camber on their R35 themselves? I've done it before (trackside) on other cars and it was quite trivial. Sometimes suspension gets out of spec, gets knocked around hard on the track and moves, or you have wide tyres rubbing on struts etc., so i want to know how it's done just in case. I am yet to get under the car and see but thought i would ask if anyone here has done it themselves, if there are any tips and/or tricks.

cheers

The lower control arm has a camber pin, you will need to remove one of the lower covers to get the bolts, probably not something you want to do at the track, also there isn't that much adjustment, the "track spec" is about 1.6 neg and I doubt there is enough adjustment to get much more than 2 deg.

thanks for that.

With respect to max camber, is that due to a limitation of the camber bolt/adjustment or the wheel/tyre itself? I am running +22mm offset track wheels on the front (they stick out a bit) and it seems there is about 20mm clearance remaining on the inside (between the wheel/trye and suspension) so nil issues with clearance there, if you know what i mean.

To answer my own question, the limitation is in the camber adjustment bolt itself. As John D says, there isnt much more in it than 1.6*, which seems a tad tame IMO. Still, there you go.

anyone able to take a few pics for a step by step next time they do this?

it shouldnt be too difficult?
