too good to be true
for like a week my driver frt. tire would wobble when sightly turned right.
it turn out to be the oem camber bolt(didn't realized stock was adjustable). so i brought the camber out to maybe 1-1.5 neg. and the car handles not like a big heavy boat.
very nimble and the frt is like planted. the understeering hell became rails of fun.no correction at all, just turn n go. the only neg. thing was the rear seems to come out a litlle when going over heavy bumps.
I brought it back to stock. my queation is, too good to be true or can I camber it out like that? I know tire wear, the car seem a little lower cam out, but besides that, I don't want to break rods, arms & stuff.or is something already broken to make it hang like that.
nay to yay w/ a dime a greese-it must be a trap...
Thanks alot,
Raymond

Maximas do not have stock camber bolts. Maybe yours had them installed before you bought it.
Although, I'm having a hard time reading what you just posted:
1) You can run up to about 1.5 deg neg camber. But anything at or over 1.5 deg will wear out the inner tire very fast.

Yeah around 1.5, besides tires, anything else. because damn thing hangs like my rx-7.since it is not a sport car, and simple small camber change shouldn't affect it that much, right...or can it?
just scare that it will lead to something bad.
thanks

camber to any extent will wear out tires. equally important is if you change the toe( which can be slightly affected when corecting camber, thats y an alignment shop will do toe last) it can also wear out your tires and even faster than having bad camber. if riding good means chaging tires more often to you then by all means go for it.
