Camber Question??//??

[paliagp]

hey all,
i was looking at my teg today and i noticed that i have negative camber in the rear. Is rear camber adjustable and if not, how can I fix it??
thanks

buy a kit or use the bolt and washer method.

no camber is not adjustable

if the negative camber isn't extreme you can fix it with the "washer trick" Just make sure to use grade 8 or better bolts. Ingalls can supply with all the correct "strong" bolts and washers or do it yourself - http://home.earthlink.net/~civicex95/rearcamber.html

buy a rear camber kit off of ebay.. it's simple to install i did it to mine.. easily adjustable and about 10 minutes to put on..

very effective and should cost less than $8.

Camber is usually affected by
1. Lowering the car
2. Bent suspension parts

If the negative camber isn't sevre I would do the washer trick(with good bolts) before I bought some junk from ebay.

If the car isn't lowered your best off replacing the bent parts instead of trying to bandaid it with an incorrect repair( camber kits or bolts/washers)

junk off ebay??? if you know how to use e-bay.... or excuse me know what your buying off of e-bay and know it's not some cheap rip off gimick you'll do just fine.. junk?!?! know what your doing and get the right thing..

the camber kits on e-bay are, by in large, junk. Numerous people have had problems with e-bay camber kits. If you haven't and you bought a quality part, super, good for you. E-bay is great for some things, but when it comes to suspension, I want to know exactly what I'm getting, because putting in bad suspension parts can make your car very unsafe. Just my two cents.
