Camber is off by .11 degrees. should I worry?
 
My right front camber is .11 degrees out of specifications. Should I worry about it?

it's -1.11 and specifications is between -1 and .5 degrees.


I'm lowered on H&R springs and I did change out that axle before. Last time I had an alignment all these were in specifications and nothing has changed on the vehicle besides tires since the last alignment.



Should I worry? Why would it be out?

One tenth of a degree is nothing, forgetaboutit and worry not.

Probably error in the machines if it was in spec before and it's not now... that much out isn't a problem anyway. you might wear just a tad on the inside tire on that corner, but it won't significantly decrease the life of your tires or anything..

Mine has been off by .1 because of my EIbachs for 40K miles and have had no tread wear problems.

Loosen the lower strut bolts and pull the top of the hub out twards you. (positive camber)

There is enough play in the holes to get you back into spec.

You will need to have your toe set again once you do that.

so pull the top part towards me? loosen all 5 bolts or just bottom? Thanks Tom.

just the bottom

Matt93SE 06-15-2004 08:32 AM

Just the bottom two on the strut mount--> knuckle.

if you're really concerned about it, call up cattman or stillen or anyone else that sells suspension products and pick up a set of camber bolts. they're $30-40 or so, and you can adjust about 1 degree on them.

Eibach goes as far as 1.75 degrees

You should be able to stick a larger screwdriver or something similar to GENTLY pry on the spindle while tightening the bolts back down.
