I walked by my car this afternoon on my way to work, and notived something-my front tires are showing some positive camber!

Is this normal? It hasn't been driven regularly for several months now, as i have not gotten the cash together for the tranny and clutch. It is driven about once every two weeks.

what could cause this besides an abnormal or wrong alignment?

Thanks in advance

Michael

 

our cars don't have camber adjustment. but if it does need adjustment because something is messed up, you can buy camber plates or bolts.

 

u sure, when I got my car lifted it looked as if the front wheels had camber to the inside like

The camber is not supposed to change, but does not have a adjustor built in. We only have a toe adjust in front. We don't have any adjustments in back either.

 

alright, thanks for telling me

I didn't think that it had an adjustment, i just wanted to make sure.

 

Get some camber bolts from "Tirerack.com". They cost about $10 dollars if I remember correctly. They replace one set of bolts that attach to the bottom of the strut. They have an elliptical pattern that works to adjust the camber of the lower knuckle relative to the strut.

The lower knuckle attaches to the rotor >> which attaches to the wheel.

Camber should be slightly negative. A value around -0.2 thru -0.5 degrees is all you need to keep the tires square to the road in the turns.

There is a mild amount of camber gain through the suspension travel. There is also additional camber gain through the steering rack movement. Both in combination through a turn are enough to get through the aggressive turns even with a mild static setting. A low degree of camber also helps directional stability, improves steering weight, improves tire wear, and maintains good traction performance under braking.
