S13 Front Camber Problemo - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Got a problem with the front camber. The two wheels are off from each other. When both wheels are set at the same setting on the camber plates, the driverside has more positive camber. The car has never been in an accident and is straight as my domestic partner.

Is there anything else that I can adjust for the front camber?

The point where the coilover meets the spindle has some play that adjusts camber. Loosen the two bolts down there and push the coilover toward the motor. This way both sides are even from there.

If your camber plates and wheels still don't match up, don't worry. I've seen a few 240s with the same issue. Mine is one of them. Just go get it aligned and make sure the computer reads the same camber . . .

Who cares, get a camber gauge and measure it. Dont rely on the stupid camber plates.

It worked! I can't believe there was that much play there.

The holes are purposely elongated to allow for camber adjustment with stock struts.
