camber adjustment?
hey, i have no idea on going about this,
how would i be able to adjust the camber on my stock 8? do i have to buy new adjustable one's or is it possible with stock? |
you can adjust the camber from stock but not much at all. i lowered my 8 and the rear is still -2derees. front camout even though.
|
i can adjust + or - right?
|
I need to do the same.. I put coilovers on and now my bottom of my rear wheels towards the inside are touchin before the out side.. if that make sense.. its hard to describe

I think there are some JIC suspension parts for our cars that will provide more camber/castor adjustability for the front and rear. I don't know the name of them but saw them in the For Sale threads and they are made by JIC. peace |
Take it to a shop and get a full alignment done. Camber, Caster, and Toe.
|
I will have to get that done.. any idea on how much that would cost?
|
<150 for a FULL adjustment
|
damn thats a pretty good chunk of my change.. I will have to get that done after Midwest Mazda Fest.
|
I took my RX8 to Western Auto $45 full alignment front and rear with a 6 month warranty, I also got the rear cambers adjusted since I upgraded my suspension.
|
I guess it depends on your location, around here full alignments run around 80 bucks.
|
If you need to fix it in a quick pinch, grab a 19mm and its literally one bolt adjustment on each side.
Careful, camber adjustment adjusts your toe as well, which increases tire wear (camber + toe out = extremely short tire life). Get an alignment as everyone else has said, can be done for anywhere from $65-140, depending the type of place you go to. |
Yeah.. I got a full alignment done for $100 and was very happy with the results..
|
Very true, the cost for this labor really depends on the location..... good luck

Hi.
Some time ago I upgraded to Mazda Speed shocks and springs. The car sits lower then stock afterward and it was suggested that I reduce the camber to 0. During a recent alignment I was told that the rear camber is not equal. I have -3.0 on the left and -2.7 on the right. I was also informed that the camber adjustments are seized . We tried PB and let it sit for a week, with no effect. Questions I have are; (1) What are factory camber setting and are there different settings for the installation of Mazda Speed shocks and springs? (2) What is the name of the part ( Trailing link? Lower Link? Rear Lateral Arm? Lower Control Arm?) the rear camber adjustments are on? (3) If the rear toe adjustments are not frozen should I change them as well, just to be on the safe side? Regards. |
Please refrain from making multiple posts on the same question. You are getting the correct answers in the other thread:

Our cars actually have very adjustable stock control arms compared to other vehicles, we are pretty lucky. Just take it to a shop and they'll know what to do. I do not recommend doing it yourself, because if you mess up the toe, driving the car will be miserable.
