Well, I took my car in for an alignment, and the guy said my caster was off, my passenger side front tire was pushed back some. I have not noticed any poor ride quality, but he said I should fix that before I fix my camber issue. But they wanted $390 just to fix the caster part..
Is that too much?

Question 2: I have the Eibach pro kit, and I bought the camber bolts that Eibach sells for the kit. Are these hard to install? They came with some instructions on a little sticker, but I lost it.

Thanks for any help

 

Caster. Either something is bent or the control arm bushing(s) are shot. The $400 might be in line w/ a new control arm and the labor to change it.

You need to specify what $390 includes.

 

Find out what's bent/shot, fix it, buy camber plates from Intrax with adjustable caster/camber, don't worry about it again. Have you hit any major potholes??

 

The $390 is a $130 "setup fee" which I believe is just 2 hours of labor, and $260 to bend it back.

 

Yeah, I hit a major pot hole.... What or Where is Intrax? Brand name or store? Got a website or a part number?

 

Brand name. I can get you the kits for the front, e-mail me and I'll look up the price. The kits for the back are a lot more expensive and probably not necessary.

 

no one makes camber plates for the 3rd gen, move over ones that allow for caster movement with the acception of candiman who no longer sells them

 

i hope they dont bend anything back. if the lower control arm is bent it should be replaced. if thats your problem come over my place i`ll help you fix it for free. providing you bring in your own control arm

nismoboy: what does intrax sell that allows for caster adjustment? as far as i know they only allow camber adjustment. caster on our cars is not adjustable

 

According to thier rep, Intrax sells camber plates that allow for a 3 degree camber adjustment and something like a 1.75 degree caster adjustment. They fit on top of the strut towers. The fact that it's not adjustable stock is true, but neither is camber so that's why you get the adjustment plates, get it? Otherwise you would only get the replacement bolts with a 2 degree camber adjustment. Really, there isn't any way you could drop your Maxima enough to throw your camber off that much. If your camber is off that much and you need a full 3 degrees adjustment you have some major problems.

 

Bend it back??? Are you sure they want to do that? What kind of shop are you taking it to, anyway?

 

did ya get a price?

 

I LOVE YOUR INTERIOR!!!!

 

I have it listed as $50 shipped for the pair (front)

 

is that price for camber bolts? or camber plates?

 

That's for the plates...

The bolts don't have as much adjustment to them, but they have enough for if you are lowered and are having camber issues. I actually have an extra set in my basement if you were interested in those...

 

thanks, theres a bried writeup on my webpage
