Rear camber arm update

Just an update on the installation of the 350Z/G camber arms on the 7th gen maxima.
I believe I now know why these are not indicated for the max. Upon installation and with the arms fully adjusted to take the negitive camber out I discovered that there is not enough inward adjustment to accomplish this. The threaded rod ends contact one another preventing proper positive camber adjustment. This was verified visually and by an alignment check.
The trick to resolve this is to cut approx 3/8" off one rod end or better yet splitting this difference by cutting both threaded rod ends.
This should now give enough positive camber adjustment (I will find out for sure tomorrow) to achieve proper alignment.

No big deal... just a hack saw cut.
Just do it with the lock nuts on so you can thread them back over the cut end. It will clean things up if you bang-up the threads during the cut.
