too much camber? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i just installed new coilovers and adjustable rear toe link, camber arm, and rear traction arm. car looks sweet and i have negative camber in the rear. last night i was driving the car down some country roads, andi noticed that whenever i turned the steering wheel to the left the rear left tire would sqeak. kinda like if you turn the wheel real quick in a parking garage, where the concrete is really smooth. is that due to to much camber? any info would help.

all your arms are adjustable. Go get an alignment.

squeaking is most likely from your toe.

Yeah you need to get an alignment after installing all that stuff, you're going to kill your tires.

Eyeballing an alignment doesn't say much.

He corrected and said he has negative camber in the rear, OP-you sure you know which is which? If the top of the tire is inward under the fender then that is negative camber, you dont need that on a street car.

Get a proper alignment and you should be a-ok, squeeling prolly isnt from the alignment angles though.
