Negative Camber on Suspension
 
Im really new with all this, and im trying to learn as much as possible.
I was reading thru various threads here and i read that i could adjust the camber with the stock suspension. Is that right:question: i would like to get some negative on my rear wheels and would like to know how to do it myself.
I know most of you guys are pretty experienced with all this :bowdown: and i hope you could show me how.

I really appreciate your help guys :blue:

you dont do it yourself. don't be cheap. go to an alignment shop and have them do it.

your car will drive like shit if you try to do it yourself.

Oh ok.
Its not that im cheap or trying to be, its just that i thought i could do it myself... like i said, im just trying to learn and do stuff myself (if its possible) thats about it, but thanks for the reply tho :)

Download the Factory Service Manual (FSM):

It has a suspension section which explains how to align the car.

if you do that ^^ you will need the home alignment kit... I did it once with a tape measure/level and it was the best I could do and still didn't feel as good as a proper alignment done by a shop.

And alignment is what... $75 max? I pay $50 cash for mine since I have them done so often...

Honestly, i have no idea how much it could be lol, because ive always taken my other vehicle to the dealer and its been free... but that its not a bad price at all, ill go and ask around tomorrow:)

Check with Firestone. They use to offer lifetime alignments. I tried to do that several years ago since I change my alignment for track events, but they refused my car. :)

Many corporate type places won't align your car outside of factory spec for insurance reasons.
