Hello, well my dillema is as follow:

i have shocks and springs that are being currently installed that belonged on 95maxima... Now as my installer told me, i have negative 4 camber in the front ...

I have a 99maxima and the shocks springs are Tokico Eibach.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing me such grief, did i mention i need the car back ASAP as i am heading somewhere on a very important trip.

to correct this will i need to get Camber bolts, camber correction or what... i am in a bit of a spot because of this and any and all responses would help to aleviate some tension that i am having.

/// Camber Kits

Because some springs lower the car more than the flexiblity of the alignment can handle, one might need camber kits. Ingalls offers a +/- 1 degree camber bolt. Which in mostly all cases, a 1 degree variation is enough to put the Maxima back into it's alignment specifications. The Eibach kit is roughly $28 from TireRack.com. Stillen offers a full race camber kit. a +/- 3 degree adjustablility. The more negative the camber, the more the wheel will edge outward (the top of the wheel is pointed toward the inside of the car). The more negative the camber, the more contact patch of tire to the ground, and thus giving better traction. But remember, running a negative camber will rub out the inside patch of tire, reducing the tread life. When taking the Maxima in for alignment remember! Our cars were designed so that the rear shocks have no camber/toe adjustments. Only the FRONT can be changed. If the rear is out of spec, there is about +/- 2mm of play when the placement of nuts & bolts that you can jiggle are retighten to get it correctly set up. But as far as paying goes, the Max is a 2 wheel alignment job ONLY. Don't be fooled in paying for a 4 wheel alignment because it's just not possible.

 

just one more question, where would one purchase Ingalls camber bolts, i understand that the others can be purchased through Stillen or Tire Rack.

Daniel B Martin, thank you for your help, i would not have thought to look at that particular site.

Thank you again you truly are a great asset to this BBS....
where are you located?

 

I am not located anywhere because I am not a real person.

I am The Lizard. I have seen the flatlands and I can take you there.
I fear and loathe women who jabber on the cell phone while driving SUVs.
I stay clean and sober, sometimes for five days in a row.
I have never fixed a broken Maxima. In fact, I have never even tried.
I had headaches before getting this new medication.
I am the God of Sufficient Onions.
I know how to ride a bicycle.
I always tell the truth, except sometimes.
I am the eggman, I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob!
