h4nsm0l3m4n Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I recently bought a set of GMachine camber bushings for my car off this forum. The rear ones have gone on without any issues and I'm able to adjust them easily. The front ones are more of a pain. With a little work I can get them in the mount to bolt the LCA to the car. However, whilst they are pressed into position, due to them being made entirely of (I think) urethane, I cannot seem to get them to rotate and adjust my camber. They are simply too tight in there and I dont want to risk tearing them by applying excessive force to try to get them to rotate. Currently to set my camber I will have to remove the LCA from its mount, twist the bushing to adjust camber, then press and reposition it back into the mount. This is a pretty tedious process, especially if done more than once. I'm willing to put the time in to get my alignment right but it just seems that I'm doing this improperly... Does anyone have any suggestions to an easier, quicker way to do this? I did a little looking around and it seems the all urethane camber bushing is an outdated design. MSA currently offers an aluminum/delrin solution, here's a picture from MSA for reference: (mine look just like this, except being 2 pieces made entirely out of urethane) I'm considering just buying a set of these. It would seem like my issue would be solved using this design, however I did want to check on here to see if anyone has a solution before I just decide to throw more money at the problem...

johnc Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 The urethane offset bushings are not really meant to be adjusted on the car. The aluminum/delrin bushings above can be adjusted on the car if you loosen the LCA bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4nsm0l3m4n Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Thanks John. I messed around with the bushings for a while today and decided to order the aluminum/delrin bushings after all. Maybe I'm not doing it right but just setting the camber so it was even on both wheels was an extremely laborious process. Either way, I expect the aluminum bushings wil make things much easier...
