s14 rear camber adjustment?? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

altalti · 10-17-2007, 12:21 PM

I would llike to know if there is a way for me to adjust the rear camber on my s14 i think i got some negative camber going on. I have d2 coilovers and that is all that is modified on my suspension. nopw for the NOOB question of the day. How do i adjust the camber??

projectRDM · 10-17-2007, 12:27 PM

With the OE eccentric bolt, just like any other car.

altalti · 10-17-2007, 12:30 PM

could anyone point me to this bolt is it on the car or do i have to buy it like my queston suggests im completely useless when it comes to suspension.

either way if you lowered with coilovers you need some adjustable arms t fix it fix your ride height to the rest of your suspension. as someone famous said "the need must fit the means"

location of adjustment bolt:
pull off the rear wheels and jack up the rear wheel
look for the arm in the back that is up on top and loops around the shock
follow it to where it bolts to the car
that bolt allows you to adjust camber by turning it
but it only allows for a small amount of adjustment, and its probably rusted to shit and seized.

but now, for the real answer:
to get it adjusted properly, you need to go to a shop and get a real alignment.
to get it adjusted into spec, you may need to install aftermarket camber arms and then go to shop and get a real alignment, depending on how much you lowered the car.

How low did you drop the car?? Camber is something you shouldn't adjust yourself. Go get yourself a professional alignment.

bigOdom1 · 10-17-2007, 02:49 PM

spl parts carries the cusco unit at a fair price. i trust the stuff for sale on that site

altalti · 10-17-2007, 02:58 PM

my car is pretty low probably about 3 inches lower then stock and i just need to get whatever i need before i go to alignment shop i have a killer alignment shop 2 miles from my house just want to have all the parts when i go in there.

aznpoopy · 10-17-2007, 03:02 PM

at the minimum you should get
rear camber arm and rear toe arm
i also suggest new t/c rods and inner/outer tie rods up front

for budget quality don't get anything with a solid joint.
get the spc rear adjustable arm set
adjustable and uses hard urethane bushings
you can get it on ebay.
they actually just revised their s14 ruca design

if you want one with heims
i suggest peak performance or battleversion
but toe and ruca is going to cost you

altalti · 10-18-2007, 08:04 AM

anyone have a link to some or maybe a set for sale. 95 240sx.

projectRDM · 10-18-2007, 09:12 AM

www.google.com might help you there. Or should we come over with a set and install them for you too?
