trwebb26 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 It seems that most people run camber plates, but I've also read that control arms do the same thing, are easier to install, are cheaper, and offer more adjustment. I'm completely confused. Can somebody please straighten me out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 It's been discussed before. The basic jist is that if your camber isn't the same on one side and the other that you might have to really lengthen the control arm on one side, which then leaves the wheel on that side sticking way out. The best solution IMO is to adjust the track equally with the control arms, and then adjust the camber with plates on top. Search and you'll find more info.

That is great knowledge. Did my arms equal at static lengths but the camber plates adjusted out at slightly different settings. Thought the body was twisted major but I guess it's ok. Also noticed the main x member has slots too. Its not a race car but a cool subject to ponder... Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Camber plates also make quick adjustment for dual purpose cars. I can change mine to autoX in less than 2 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
