Yes. Changing its length tilts the subframe and alters the camber of both wheels at the same time.

Final product



My cousin had an old tie rod left over from his race car. I just trimmed off about an inch and retaped it. Worked great. I lucked out on the parts though ended up costing me nothing... I'll let U all know how it works. I'm waiting on the new shocks though.

How many turns do you all usually go to get 0 camber? I'm having trouble getting more than 2-3 turns. The subrame doesn't want to move even with a pry bar. And no I didn't jack it by the subframe. I can get it to move alittle 1/2 inch or so. Is this enough for a baseline? I know I'll need to take it to be aligned but I want it as close as possible.

Thanks
