camber

Is there any way to adjust the camber on the front end????? Ever since I dropped the max, the tires have been wearing like crazy on the inside. Thanks

no camber adjustments avail for our maxes unless you want to buy the camber plates, therefore the answer to the question is no

I think Eibach and Suspension Tech(or could've been Intrax) make the bolts.

I have the Specialty Products brand bolts for the front. for the rear they they also offer adjustable rear arms for the rear. check it out here--> http://www.specprod.com/

that makes sense, because they are using smaller bolts and shimming the top to adjust camber. i stand corrected, but its an aftermarket application and a shop will charge you extra to do this, but its better than going thru tires.

The EZ Wedge kit replaces the upper O.E. strut/spindle bolt with a slightly smaller bolt, allowing room for movement. The steel wedge is then driven between the strut and the top of the spindle, providing up to 2 degrees positive camber change. One kit covers both sides of the vehicle. MasterPaks of 10 are available for convenient ordering and restocking.

lik doesnt work directly

I have the Eibach camber bolts on but i dont know how to adjust them, i took them to an alignment shop and they did the work for me, they like the camber bolts, makes their job easier. I paid about $30 from a local shop here. But Intrax DOES make the bolts too, you can order from them directly or go to www.nopionline.com and order the specialty ones or go to www.tirerack.com and order there for about $27 i think. They bolt in the top strut mount on the bottom of the strut, really easy to replace, but i cant adjust them because i dont know what the hell im doing so i just put them on and drove to an alignment shop, but did notice if not adjusted correctly it can really F*** up your camber! Well good luck on deciding!!!

Slot the Struts

This is what i do to cars that have our type of front end suspension setup. By elongating one of the spindle-to-strut bolt holes on the strut you have a cheaper and easy way of adjusting camber. Sometimes this can even work on the back as well. I find it easier to adjust when elongating the top hole.

Camber bolts...

... Ingalls makes camber bolts. They have enough adjustment to compensate for off camber from lowering springs for our cars, but if your camber is off from another problem like bent pieces you may be outta luck. I have a set of the Ingalls, and an extra set for the front in my basement if you need them...
