Camber adj. on S14 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Okay, quick question. Is the camber adjustable on s14 rear suspensions? One site says you'll need new parts to adj the camber and another site says they're adjustable up to +/-.75 degrees. So which is it? And if I'm using Sportlines, can I adjust the camber enough to level out the tires?

There's an eccentric (sp?) bolt with markings on the upper rear tie rod. By rotating the bolt slightly you change camber. It's a PITA to get loose though... at least on my car.

With sportlines, you might be able to get enough adjustment to get it "good enough", but from what most people say (since I just left mine at "good enough") the PDM kit or some other camber adjustable means would be better.

Alright thanks for clearing that up. I was planning on getting the kit from PDM but I don't want to wait for it just to put my suspension back together. I'm a "good enough" man.

Thanks again.

FWIW: the fronts are what chewed my tires up. definitely look into camber correction in front if you're going with sportlines or something similar.
