Camber Kit, Crash bolts. Options

[njccmd2002]

I got new tires today, and went to the dealer to get alignment. They todl me they would not do it because just by looking at the tires they said i needed camber kits.

Judging by the looks of the wheel, you can tell it has a little neg effect; and looking at the old tire, only the rears show different wear.

Im running teins, KYB. I know each car is different. Ive read about crash bolts, what are those and where to find them.

I found these kits are they good.

Front and rear are both adjustable to a point without adding parts. Exactly how far depends on the car.
Whether it needs them depends how far you're out.
You might only need them on one wheel.

FYI (some) negative camber is ok and doesn't always effect tire wear. Toe will eat a tire to bits rather fast though.

My car ran ~1*+ or so of negative camber....handling FTW (negative camber increases cornering abilities, too much will decrease braking)

Stock specs are roughly 1* neg anyways.

so i went to a guy and for $55 he put my camber bolts in and aligned the only deal was that it was so out of alignment from my wreck they couldn't get it to stop pulling.??

what's the next step because i know my frame had no damage.

sorry to jack your thread....

Could be caster or camber, I can't tell you without looking at the car, though a pic of the specs the car is at now would help.

thats where the problem lies, the dealer wont align at all.
