J240ZTurbo Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) So, I finally installed my brand new Rotas RBR that I got from Kim, here at the group buy few months ago, I also installed new yokohama s-drives tires, I been scratching my head for a few weeks now on why the rear driver side wheel sticks out about 1/2 or close to an inch more than the passenger side , I measured both rears wheels for off-set and they appear to be exactly the same measurement any ideas ??? thanks, Juan.

santanawhite Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I don't think its the wheels at all then. Its probably something in the suspension on that corner of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) I would really like to see this pictures. a Mod deleted them from the size. edit: Could be a number of things, off the top of my head, bent frame, could be the bushings for the subframe are destroyed so its moving around, could be the bushings in the control arm. Could have been in an accident and had some shody body work done to fix it and they made it look good, but measured wrong.

J240ZTurbo Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) ok guys, a good friend came over today and it looks like a camber issue, does anybody here know how to adjust the rear camber on a zx? I changed all the bushings few months ago, put new kyb rear struts, tokico springs 1" drop, and I dont remember seeing anything for adjustments down there please help....

RebekahsZ Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 If you haven't changed anything, check ride height. A tired spring could drop that corner and ad camber. Lots of cars aren't "square" from the factory. On my truck I had to lower one corner a full inch more than the others to get equal ride height all the way around.

Snailed Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Lots of cars aren't "square" from the factory. That's the truth. It's pretty shocking how off they are sometimes. Nearly all cars are off a little anyway. They can't build you a car to sell at a reasonable price and have it be dimensionally perfect. It should be pretty easy to find where your camber difference came from. Jack it up, take the wheels off and start measuring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1QWIKZ Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Also...you can't adjust rear camber or toe on the ZX. Both change with movement of the suspension...fault of the semi trailing arm design. As suspension compresses, negative camber increases and toe-in increases... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
