Hey guys so i maxed out the negative camber on my ruca on my passenger side and I also tried doing it on my driver side but it seems that the passenger side ruca has more negative camber than my driver side ruca even though both are maxed out. I just want to know why this is happening even though both rucas are maxed out and one have more camber than the other. What am I missing here guys? (btw running yamato garage rucas, pbm coils, godspeed ver.2 toe rods) and the car does not have any frame damage whatsoever.

Maybe a factory problem with your aftermarket arms. Try replacing them one set at a time with your stock arms and see if anything changes.

I had some megan racing control arms and I had the same problem. One was adjusted all the way and the other was just little over half way, the one that was adjusted all the way still was slightly on the neg side while the other side was perfect.

Switched out to stock ones with whiteline bushing and moog ball joints and yay i was good again. Moral of the story some aftermarket stuff, no matter how expensive they are they still can be defective.

thanks guys I will take all of that in account. I'm going to bring it to an alignment shop and see what they say.

Soap makes a good point...sometimes other adjustments in suspension geometry can throw off other others, depending on the car.

Also, there's a thing called "factory tolerances"...when nissan put the car together and made the parts that went on the car, everything was measured, and as long as it was within a certain measurement range, it went down the line. Adjustments, like camber, were never intended to be MAXED out they just needed to have a wide enough adjustment range to keep the car within a spec range (or if it didn't have an adjustment, all those other measurements, earlier up the line, were meant to get it within a range)...

Soooo, when you bolt up aftermarket adjusters and you max them out, you are now relying on the rest of the geometry to be identical tolerances, which it will not be.

Plus why are you maxing it out?
