pedrosixfour Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 The front camber adjusters aren't free to turn a complete 360 degrees anyway, they have more like a 150 degree sweep from stop to stop. The slots in the sub-frame are narrower than the eccentric washer, this limits the amount of camber that can be dialled into the front, probably as a safety precaution.

Jellybean Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Quick Q: Looking at the spec for my car on the sheet, the Left and right rear toe, camber tolerances/Range are the same so why you would have different settings? I presume they both axles settings should be as close to one another?

Rear Axle Driver Camber: 1 42’ Toe 0 13 Passenger Camber: 1 30’ Toe 0 07 Adjusting one side will usually have a minute effect on the settings on the other side, the only real way to avoid this would be to roll the car back & forth every time even the smallest adjustment is made. Couple that to the effect tightening all the adjusters back up after even a competent person has done the realignment and you will normally see a few minutes/tenths of mm discrepancy between the same values on either side of the car. But it is nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) They're the caster adjusters mate, which are free to rotate. Yes they're the caster adjusters so my apologies but I still thought mine on both camber and caster rotated all the way though, the only thing stopping this is the slot in the chassis the bolt slides left or right in I wonder if the slots in mine had been modified to get more camber ? Quite easy to do once the arms removed Edited November 18, 2013 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Perhaps it is even a possible chassis/suspension difference across the model variations. I'm basing my "all-knowing answers" on one model, my own, a '95 JDM SZ-R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
