Default Question about Camber Kit

Last Sat. Jesse informed me that my right front tire had some bad camber (positive). I was going to get a camber kit long before this, but i realized that I didnt know how one worked....can anyone explain how this thing corrects camber? Thanks

A camber kit is actually a pretty easy thing to understand.

For the rear, some people use washers as a cheap way of adjusting it, or you can buy a camber kit from Ingalls, spc, etc. It looks like this



You can adjust it so that it pushes the top of the wheel out further(positive camber) or so that it tucks the wheel towards the inside (negative camber). Works the same way for the front but looks different. Pretty much the same principle, pushing out or pulling in to set the desired amount of camber on the vehicle.

Understand?

basically...it makes your wheels parallel and will save you a lot of money in tires, cause when you camber is bad, over a long period of time your tires will rub down....
