Guest Zpeed Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 Hey guys, today i did the camber adjustment, by cutting some holes to move the strut up and down, this is for the rear, as i was getting very very bad wear on the inner tyre, now that i have got camber adjustment, i adjusted it so it looks nice and good camber, but i want to know how to measure camber, and what should i have, the book says 48 degree at full extension, but i'm not sure, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 I'm a bit confused about the 48 degree part at full extension. Camber normally (depending on what kind of driving you're setting the car up for) runs between 1/2 - 2 degrees camber. So the 48 degrees has me baffled. Camber is the measure of how the wheel's vertical centerline is oriented with a perpendicular line off the pavement. 0 degrees means the wheel is perfectly vertical in reference to the ground plane (on level ground). Then as you lower the car, this measurement slowly goes more and more negative (top of the wheel starts tilting inboard as the bottom of the wheel is being pushed further out). Camber can be adjusted on the rear suspension with campber plates at the top of the strut towers, but this only slides the top of the strut (and the top of the wheel) in or out. I'm not sure what you meant by cutting some holes and moving the strut up or down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zpeed Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 sorry, well its like camber plates, but the cheaper way, i've cut the normal strut holes in the body, larger so they can slide, to adjust the camber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 may i ask what size you tires are??? i have found that more often than not the trouble is in the toe in the rear not camber the inset of the fatter meat makes the car sit up and changes the toe 0 by the way i have 245/50/15 on the rear of my car some day to go 245/45/16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
