rear camber arms, please please help!!!

[babyjesus]

i have an s14 with mgan coils, i had rally bad camber before, so i purchaseda set of Cxracing rear camber arms, after installing them my car feels like garbage...

it almost feels dangerous to drive, the only way i can explain is it is that the car feels like it has recoil, i havent gotten my alignment yet and i understand that MAY be the problem, wut else could it be?

Probably a cheap POS rod end that's all siezed up. Get some decent ones from GSXRJordan(I think I missed some letters in his name). He has a thread in the Group Buy forum I believe.

wut happenes if they're siezed? arent they supposed to move freely?

Yes they are, if they're not crappy. You have crappy rod ends now, they do not move freely.

And yes, I assumed you aligned your car after changing your camber, but I suppose what was assuming too much...

But seriously, you changed arms on the car, ofcourse shit will be out of whack.

everytime you remove a suspension piece or adjust anything with suspension you threw the alignment off.

its best to do all suspension pieces at once and tow the car to a alignment shop its the safest way.

You really can't just buy the RUCA's after slamming an s14. If you pull the camber out, your undoubtedly affect toe/ alignment. Not to mention it is a good idea to get traction rods too; you can't lengthen just one point and expect it not to fu*k everything else up.


It's likely that you have added a decent amount a toe, that will most definitely make the rear end of an S14 feel awkward/dangerous. I know some people add toe to drive the rear end outwards more in a drift but I honestly feel its not necessary for the s14 chassis. I've felt it with a little, a lot, and pretty much none and would say I prefer none.
