Lude Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 is the Supra supost to be cambered more in the rear? my car looks a bit too much some how. want them to be parralell really, as its making the wheels go to far into the arch? can a local garage adjust this? or has something gone wrong, and i need to repalce certain parts? no idea how to sort it really bit of a newbie in that area. car is lowered springs & shocks, and is quite low, if that has altered anything? and what about price are we talking to get it looking a bit more straight...

Lude Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 hi guys im from the Rhondda, south wales iv just bought some new wheels, so gonna see if the offset difference will effect the camber, will get some pics of it up when they are on there. its only on springs, buy i dont think the car could be lowered any more! tires would rub, at the moment the tires are level with the arch lip. just looks like a lot of camber on the back wheels, dont want the new wheels to look like they are stuck in the arches. so its not too difficult to get rid of the camber then and get the wheels more parralell?

dr_jekyll Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 no there are cam adjusters, the rears on a supe are fully adjustable . its worth getting the geo done when you put the new wheels on regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyer864 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 pop down to mototec mate, they'll sort you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_jekyll Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) honestly mate , without alot of moneys worth of lazer aligner i wouldnt reccomend messing with the adjusters . it could end up just being dangerous.

Lude Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 honestly mate , without alot of moneys worth of lazer aligner i wouldnt reccoment messting with the adjusters . it could end up just being dangerous. yea iv just been searching it on here, not something i wana just guess and see if looks right. cars going in the garage to have some tired swapped over this week, so il ask them what they think of it. they do tracking down there and are pritty switched on, maybe they can do camber aswel? or isit only a geo specalist which can....

Wez Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Its really something you shouldn't be adjusting by eye, get it done properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 if you are going to get it done start regularly hosing down all the adjusters, nuts, bolts etc with WD40 well in advance of taking it, you will then give the garage a fighting chance of being able to do anything with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will save you money as they'll charge you for the time taken having to heat up the bolts etc. Your local 'tracking' place may not do camber but it's worth an ask. In my experience it's always worth going to a place who give you a before and after print out because otherwise who knows what they've done.
