Thumbs up Camber Adjustment.

Ok, I've search and used the google/s2ki type search...

I went down to my friends shop to get my alignment. We fix my toe for the front and back, now i remember searching before and people saying the car came with adjustible cambers. We looked and there nothing.

Can anybody show some pics of the location front/back if there is any.


I spoke with another member and he said we only have adjustible toe, and no adjustible cambers.

TIA

Never ask this other member for advice, ever again.

Camber, caster, and toe are all adjustable in the front, and camber and toe are adjustable in the rear. All adjustments are made via eccentric bolts on the control arms (except for front toe being controlled by the tie rods).

I'd also recommend a different alignment technician. If they don't know about eccentiric adjustment bolts, I'd take the car to someone that knows what they're doing.

Well the member I asked has been working on are cars for a long time now. Maybe when i talked to him he missed understood me, but who knows.

Do you any pics to show where each one is for the adjustments?

I'm not sure if its a new style, we did it at his work at toyota but the system did have all type of cars to choose from and we picked "Honda-2005-s2000" and if pulled up all the adjustments. Maybe my friend didnt know how to on are cars since he's a toyota tech.

I'll double check with him.
