camber issue, what should I check?
camber issue, what should I check?
Alright so I went in for an alignment and came out with poor camber results (although everything else was good)...
Front Drivers = -1.0
Front Pass = -1.8
the maximum specified camber is -1.0 for my generation maxima....so i'm off by -0.8 degrees on the passenger...and the drivers side is right on the edge...
is there anything I should look for?
- Worn out upper strut bearing?
- Loose bolts?
- etc, etc
I just want to know if theres some simple way to get it back into spec...without actually buying a camber kit...

you can try and mess with the suspension but meh.
loosen the bolts, toss a jack under it, ever so slightly jack it up. just look for what you can do to help it
or tear out the suspension, replace with torsion bars or something

This prob happened when you installed the springs. You can loosen everything up and retighten once back in the proper place. It's a fairly common, although harmless, problem when lowering cars.
