So I got my car aligned today and the mechanic told me that they maxed out the camber as much as possible but it still won't get close to stock specs/-1 degree camber and I have camber bolts on my car too. Currently it sits around -2.7 degree camber. What do you guys think the problem might be? Maybe worn out camber bolts?

 

For the camber bolts to wear out, they would have to have been loose. Anything is possible. Since you have camber bolts, the question is: why? The answer is probably because of the coilovers. Changing the height of the car messes with the camber.

You could look for new camber bolts and see how much adjustment they will allow. You could also take the car to a frame shop and let them diagnose it. Probably won't be cheap, though.

 

yes why camber bolts and plates? did yhe guy know the camber adjust on the plates too? might want to ask that question

 

eh I dont touch camber bolts

 

Got a printout or snapshot of the alignment page?

Are you using camber plates on the coilovers and bolts as well?

 

No, no camber plates. Progress coilovers don't come with plates unfortunately.....

 

Yes, you are correct. It's because of the coilovers. I don't think the stock bolts will get me to the right negative degree of camber that I would prefer

 

Buy plates.

 

The question is where?

 

Here is one place:

Those are camber bolts and not camber plates because the picture varies between applications. And the title of the product is camber bolts

 

BTW guys, I went to another alignment shop and they were able to align the car. The first shop are idiots.......

 

Sorry. I searched for camber plates for a 2003 Maxima and when I saw the photo of camber plates, I didn't go any further.
