camber

Post by lweeezy188 » Wed Apr 01, 2009 11:38 pm

I know camber kits are the only good way but I have heard of people just throwing some washers on the bolts and it working. Is that true?

So that is not much metal at all maybe a little over a quater inch. the diagram above would be for the rear strtus then, do the same to the top holes or bottom holes on the front struts?

theses are them, I am assuming the ones on the left are the rear, they weigh less than the ones on the right and the hole on the bottom are bigger. The one on the right has the top hole bigger.
