not you fool. i dont care about your camber!


is it more than this?

Not to get off topic, though it's still sort of on topic, but was it hard to replace the rear control arms?
I ask because of that one bolt that goes through the knuckle....

Yea its around that. I don't like that much negative camber. Just enough to see it.

thats -4degrees. which is alot haha.
get those bolts.

and airtools are really the only way to remove the control arms. a good gun and tank

Lol. Ok. At least I know where to go. I'll go -2 or -1.75.

So my eibach camber bolts just came in and the nut cant even screw enough to where the bolt will go all the way through? It's like that on both nuts. Is this how it's suppose to be new? Are you suppose to force the bolt through the nut? I just don't want to strip anything.


EDIT: NVM. Called Eibach and they said it's a safety measure. It's to prevent the nut from loosening when it's installed. He also said you can't finger tighten it. You'd have to use the socket. Did this happen to any of you guys?

how far into the nut is the bolt?

The bolt goes 3/4 into the nut. Ima install it later today when I wake up. Probably afternooish. Lol.

That should be plenty enough! I thought you meant that it was just barely screwing into it lol
Get some pictures once you're done!

I don't get it? Lol. I think I word it wrong. I meant 3/4 into the nut as in the bolt doesn't go all the way through the nut? If you get what I'm saying? Lol.

So took some measurements with my Level app on my phone. The front was both around -2.0 and the rear it was off? The Drivers side was around -2.6 which was perfectly fine for me but the passenger side was about -3.7? No I haven't put on the camber bolts yet. I was just measuring for the heck of it. After I had that measuring I looked at my cars ass from about 30ft and the passenger side is more cambered. I looked from the front of the fenders and the passenger is more cambered. Is that normal? Or does anyone know or think why my car is like that? I don't think it's anything serious to worry about but I'm just curious.

Damn. Had them installed and everytime I finish installing them and take it for a test run it keeps popping back out to the regular camber it was. I tightened it. I'm starting to think that these camber bolts are ****. Keep having issues with them "popping out". I am trying to get more positive camber too if that matters.

Even with camber bolts on the back all the way adjusted im at -3.5 so im thinking of cutting the camber bar shorten it about 10mm and weld it again. How this sounds??? Haha it might sound silly but ia good welding will hold it good.

Do you know of any other rear camber kits for our cars? Even when I adjust my eibach camber all the way I still get -3 camber. I want to get at least close to -2.

Adjustable bar would be the only thing but they dont exist. That why ill grab and extra set of camber arms and cut them in the mittle and remove 10-15mm and weld it. Thats the only way I can think of

Slot the strut mounting holes. Camber plates are nothing special, just moves the location of the strut.


Depending on how much you want to move it you may need to reinforce the top of the strut tower a bit, maybe even rebuild the top of the strut tower. If you can weld, both can be done in an afternoon.

If you ever get it done and it works. PM me. I'd be interested in buying a set.



strut mounting holes? you talking about the holes where the strut bolts goes?

Thats what he was referring too.
Just get a set of pillowball mounts unless your really experienced with fab work.

Yeah, Pretty much the pillowball with camber bolts does the same thing. In my opinion its not that hard to modify your car to essentially make your own right on the top of the strut mount, provided you can weld.

I never welded before and don't have the equipment for it. Would be nice though. Make life a lot easier to customize parts to fit my car.
