Fixed Rear Camber Under $1

well, i finally fixed my rear camber today. no i didn't buy the ingalls or spc camber kit. i bought 15 washers from home depot for less than a $1. its hard to explain without pics but i'll try. on the rear camber there are two bolts attaching the camber to the car. all i did was put 3 washers on each bolt (6 per camber) and it worked. its ghetto but it saved me over 100 dollars

i think i'll shell out the 20 bucks to fix the front

Just remeber that you will have to replace the washers often. they are not that hard so through time they will get pressed and will not be the same size.

Very nice. However, that is a pretty important part of the suspension back there and I think I will keep my SPC kits. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Oh yeah, that will work. The bolts will be a little more strained than before, but it should work. The SPC rear camber kit is the best one out there IMO. I would still get that with the polyurethane bushings. That would be the optimal solution. Expensive, but optimal.

Now the question is WHAT???????? What the hell is the camber that is attached to the car. The strut is attached to the car. Camber is something that happens to your suspension not something that is attached to your car. Camber in technical terms is the inclination of the steering axis in the longitudinal plane.

it can be done...but it's not really safe as the washers can slightly compress and add shear force to the bolt...a solid one one piece ring would work much better
