Camber

Doctor DeBo · 01-21-2004, 03:50 PM

Ive noticed on my 92 LX that my camber seems to be out at certain times.If I back the car out of the garage both wheels camber out,back it up about ten feet and its fine,Ive tried this on several surfaces with the same results.The alignment has been checked and every thing is tight.The toe and caster are fine.Im running a PA Performance K-member and A-arms,D&D coil overs(not sure of the spring rate),D&D caster camber plates,no strut tower brace,and Koni struts.The tires are BF Goodridge P245 50/16s.Both tires camber about the same amount when this happens.Im wondering if the 245 are to fat for the set up.I dont notice anything while driving.Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks

When I put front springs on I like to put up to 1 degree Positive camber. When the springs settle it will produce negitive camber, hopefully evening out. Either way, by summer you'll probably need some camber adjustments.

New springs are sorta like when you jack the front off the ground, then lower it. The tires will want to tuck under a bit. On a slick surface it can do it its self.
