hey guys i just read a interesting thing on here, but i didnt want to bump in the guys thread. but here s the deal:

i hit a curb, i spun the car around and my Rear Right tire had POSITIVE camber. ok i know i messed **** up already. so i went a head and replaced all the arms on the REAR, left and right sides....... also swapped springs and shocks too.

now i went to get a alignment, went very good, car was put nearly perfect. 2 days later i recieved my RPF1's... very aggressive wheels, so i wanted to camber to clear my fenders and stuff. so they started with the front, ot me to a 2.1 or so on both front. gentlement moved to the rear left, got it to about 1.3 ish or so if i remember..... the REAR RIGHT how ever didnt want to camber past -.2 at all. so we started looking under for everything. subframe didnt move, nothing we can see. and we ruled out a few things since its just the side i hit....

so my questions are based on some thing swe did to it that i noticed:

the camber bolt is it supposed to rotate all the way 360? reason i say, LEFT rear does rotate all the way 360 degress. but the rear right only rotates partially. same with the toe bolt on that side, it only rotates partially.

now can the whole knuckle be bad? this is the only thing we came up with during the alignment. maybe a bent knuckle? no i did not get new camber bolts which i should have, i forgot all about it.....

now this is where i get confused guys and im sorry for the long post: i just read that the camber bot can be flipped 180 degres, but maybe mine was flipped because for one i didnt really look, but when he was trying to get camber, out of it, it wouldnt move too far into the minus, but more to the positive. (im speaking about the right side), but the left rotated 360...

can someone that read all my BS clerify some things for me, before i end up buying a whole new knuckle or what ever someone thinks is bad?

 

guys sorry about the spelling i was in a rush to make this thread, because i have people waiting for me to purchase stuff....

 

no one???

 

In the rear the bolt used to adjust the camber can be rotated 360 degrees. They have like oblong looking washers made to them that slides the bolt left to right as you rotate them, I believe it is called a cam style bolt. It sounds like either yes your knuckle is bad or possibly the body is bent. These are uni-body style cars and can bend. I would recommend taking it to a good body shop with a frame machine and they can tell you what is wrong. On a side note if you had full coverage and had your insurance cover it, you may be able to get them to cover this as well. You should be able to get like -1.8 at least in the rear. Hope this helps. That whole 180 degrees bolt flipping is just for the front.

 

take a tape measure and start measuring. i do it every day at my body shop. unless u have tram gauges a tape measure workds just as good. measure point to point on the spindle on each side. do a few different points and see if the other side matchs. if way off then its bent. ive had "stupid" people put in cam bolts wrong before. one side where the nut is the washer can sometimes be put 180degrees off. i havent looked at our bolts in a while so im not sure if these ones can. have had it done alot on hondas because people dont pay attention. and u can bend cam bolts ive seen it. but u shoudl of noticed it if u had them out.
