Guys I'm getting coilovers in a week, and I had sprints before, I'm rolling on my stock suspension now, and the camber is bad \ /

Is there any way I can adjust the camber, because on hard turns, the tire is on its sidewall =/

 

Camber is not adjustable on our cars. Does it just look bad, or have you had it checked?

 

it looks bad... like the sidewall of the tires is worn from 2 days of driving. I can hear the tires squeeling when i'm driving straight =/

 

When you raise the suspension back up to stock height, the toe is affected as well as camber. Your toe may be so far off that you are having problems.

You have already forgotten rule #1:

Whenever you take apart the suspension, you need to get an alignment afterwards.

 

I know I need an alignment but it seems like a waste to pay 50 bucks when im redoing the suspension within a week.

 

Then quit whining and deal with it for a week...

 

yeah man..its all good just suck it up for the week and enjoy the squealing tires.
drop the coilovers in, alignment. happy again

 

blah... u missed the point oh mister moderator sir!... I was afraid it's dangerous to drive like this... sheesh... someone's crabby

 

it probably isnt very stable bro
take it slow for the week . be careful
after you swap out the parts again, go to the shop and have them straighten you out. youll be ok again
go slow this week

 

Thanks

 

A buddy of mine had camber trouble with a different strut suspended car, and was able to bring the camber into spec by loosening the bolts that hold the spindle to the strut and moving the spindle within the slop of the bolts.

1. Jack up front end.

2. Loosen (but do not remove) the bolts that hold the spindle to the strut.

3. Grab ahold of brake rotor (or wheel) and pull out on the bottom of the wheel while pushing in on the top.

4. While holding it in position, re-tighten the bolts.

You're done.

Some cars with strut type front suspensions are slotted here, and are designed to have their camber adjusted this way. However, the slop in the Maxima's bolt holes will still provide a limited amount of adjustment. Hopefully it will be enough.

Anyone have personal experience doing this on a Maxima?

Good Luck!
