hotchkis camber link quick question:

[celica rush]

my rear wheels are starting to slant; it's about half an inch out already.

my question is...for the hotchkis camber links, do i have to twist the knob to adjust to the right fittings? I am planning on installing the links the way it is now and take it to a shop in a week or so to get 4 wheels aligned. Also, is it okay to just have the rear aligned?

i am on sportline drop.

with a sportline drop, you really dont need a camber kit. Just take it to an alignment shop, and they should be able to align everything back or close to stock specs.

Sorry to take over, but what is a sportline drop?

anyone else want to chime in? I already ordered some 18 inch rims and i know it will get worse.

Someone answer my previous questions :gap: thanks

Yea you twist the knob and it will go out or in as you want.

But you really should have an alignment shop do it anyway unless you have the tools to read your camber and caster.

by sportline drop he means eibach sportlines. I think.

holly crap my alingment was done with negative camber, and I had my hotchkis strut tower brace installed and wow. I can take my nice turn at the same speed as before, but i can stay in my lane. I dont have to drift to the outside lane at all. 60mph and driving under the overpass is sweet. :)

I believe you have to remove the arm to adjust the camber.At least that's what the instructions seem to indicate.

[leftovercrack]

you dont have to remove the arm to change camber. at least i didnt have to when i got mine aligned. you just twist the spinning part that bolts to the hub which requires removing one the bolt.

Sounds like a NASCAR fix to me.
