Yuuuup mine is SNAFU too!! Looks like djm arms in the future...

 

[Xcars_onfireR]

Dam so the gallon of penetrating fluid I put on it wont help lol

 

[easts1d3]

greaat so i probably should get new camber adjustment bolts then, i already got new u bolts just in case i snapped mine

 

[Xcars_onfireR]

its a lot of work to change the bolts when they seize in there. might have to replace the bushings if your up for it. but the u bolts are a good idea. negative camber gives you better handling in the corners anyways lol

Guess i got lucky!! Just had mine aligned two days ago. Three of the adjusters were fine and one was slightly seized. We got it though and now alignment is good..!!!!

The problem with negative camber besides tire wear is that the outside tire loses full contact with the ground, this is not good. I know there's a company that makes front suspension for PooStangs that allows the outside tire to continue to have a full contact with the ground. Don't remember how it achieves this but this is what u want.....not negative camber on both wheels

 

[Xcars_onfireR]

Yeah I was just trying to make my self feel better about not being able to adjust them lol

 

[easts1d3]

how much will the camber change though ? and is that all that is going to change?
if it only changes a few degrees how much will that effect the tire wear

 

[Xcars_onfireR]

mine is out almost 2 degrees it will start to show after a couple months and my toe was out too but thats the easy one to fix. Im not going to worry about mine untell i get new tires.

besides that i just got my passport today! our convoy is not going to be as big as planed but is still gonna be good

 

[easts1d3]

ya our convoy dwindled right down to only a dew of us
i just put my coils on today and was that ever a pain in the ass... i hate upper control arm bolts! i wasnt even able to get them out.
