Maxed out my camber on my tein he's, now I'm rubbing on my ecu harness. Also had the toe adjusted as it was negative 1.5 degrees. My question is did the camber adjustment cause it to become too close to the tire, or was it the toe adjustment?

^ That doesn't really help him. Everyone knows they should read, most are too lazy to do so.


Tuck your harness, the lower your car goes the greater the chances of rubbing at your harness are because the wheel is getting closer to the wheel well. It is possible that cambering your wheels made them sit a little closer, so to remedy this, either raise your car, change your car back to the way it was when it didn't rub or do a harness tuck.

Thanks, how I picture it in my head is the negative camber increase raised the outer edges of the tire, I just wanted to double check before I drove back out to the shop stressing about something that might not actually be the issue. I researched a fair amount but could only find threads with hellaflush supastarz with inside out wheels.

I've had this discussion like 3 times on this forum now and have proven myself right all 3 times. When you have 0 camber the whole tire has contact with the ground (everything is at its lowest point). When you add negative camber anything that is not the inner corner of the wheel will rotate in and up. That includes the point where the wheel mounts to the hub. This is the reason why you tuck more tire and the car looks "lower". Because the outside edge of the tire has been rotated up and into the fender well.

Add camber lowers a car, and removing camber raises the car.
I went from 3.8 to 1.5 and it raised the car nearly a full inch. On my car, every 1.0 degree of camber change equates to roughly a 1/2" of height change.

and we have a WINNER. I remember this discussion. Put a box on the table. Now when you rotate the box just a little, the highest point is now higher.

And that is the exact reason why he now rubs.

How were you measuring your ride height? gap in tire to fender, or fender to ground?

How tall your tire is will impact this decision as well. If you have taller tires, and you camber in, it will put all the weight of the vehicle on a smaller section of the tire...which may compress it as you add camber.

now in terms of a negative offset wheel. At zero degrees camber, it will raise a little, and then go back down once you past it's center point.

A positive wheel will show more impact when adding camber as the degree of the angles are dramatically changed.

you are running a 265 on the front?

I can't tell on your ride height, shadows, the minimum amount of change in the angle and compression on the tire may not change much for you. I can tell however that you now have more room inbetween your fender and tire. As far as ride height, you may have increased height because of the roundness of your tire. as in, a 35 has rounded edges rather than square. the tire may get taller towards the center. These are all very tiny key points that we tend to miss. Also, don't forget that most race tires are softer on the inside of the tire and hard on the outside for cornering (sidewall flex). don't forget tire wear plays a part too in take off some of that ride height while previously cambered.

What does this picture have to do with anything? We're talking about a McPhearson strut front suspension...


And the wheels do move independently of the rest of the car, the the wheels also include the hub and knuckle, this moves your center of axis out from the wheel. So all of these childish drawings that take no consideration into the rest of the suspension are proving nothing.

Ok my bad I was talking about both front AND rear suspension, which is why I posted a picture of the rear suspension. If we are being front suspension specific in this thread my point still remains true though. The hub rotates around the axis of the LCA ball joint, the wheel rotates around the hub. When the wheel rotates inward it pushes the inside lower edge of the wheel down. Since the hub is connected to the knuckle and the knuckle is connected to the LCA and the LCA is connected to the front xmember and the front xmember is directly connected to the chassis, by pushing the inside-lower edge of the tire down you are moving the car up. (unless you are pushing the earth down)

That is an inaccurate portrayal of the front suspension in an s-chassis car. The picture here is implying that the wheel connects directly to the strut. In actuality it connects to a knuckle which connects to BOTH the strut and the LCA ball joint.

No shit sherlock, but the center line of the hub and knuckle would be parallel with the ground EXACTLY like the picture at 0* of camber.

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e392/pacotaco345/1209176010_2_FT2084_p1030224.jpg

Why don't you look for yourself where the ball joint is. By changing the camber you aren't moving the LCA you're moving the knuckle. And by moving the wheel you're moving an edge of it either up or down, whether it is the inside edge or outside edge. the side that moves up no longer touches the ground (obviously) and the side that moves down raises the car.

Put these two logics together.

If the LCA does NOT move the entire assembly rotates on the lower ball join then.

If you don't agree with me on the location of the ball joint (red dot) then show me where you would like me to put it.

Look at the wheel. The red dot you marked as the ball joint is still within the width of the wheel. and as long as its still within the wheel it means that the inside of the wheel is moving down. Also, the line you have representing the strut started out at an angle. When in actuality the strut in the car sits straight up and down at 0* camber unless you have a slotted mount, in which case it would sit straight up and down even with negative camber. This alone makes your drawing and measurements inaccurate. If you had started the drawing with the strut straight up and down the 5* wouldn't make as big of a difference in the overall highest point of the strut. And if you moved the point of the ball joint further into the wheel (like it actually is in real life), how much the lowest point of the wheel is moving down would be much more apparent.

Also, rounded edges won't contribute to nearly a full inch of ride height difference.

It raised the car. Fender to ground distance is higher. By almost an inch. I had to get helper springs for my coilovers to I could lower my car back to down to it's desired ride height, since I had to droop the spring to go lower.

From my personal experience, adding camber has lowered my car, and taking camber out has raised it. No diagram or math explained over the internet will refute my personal experiences with camber change.

1. If I understand you correctly you're helping my argument, adding camber raises the car, positive or negative. And I would go do this now if my car wasn't 1300 miles away.
2. I have measured the distance of my crossmember and rear subframe, removed camber, then measured again. The car was lower after I took the camber out.

First of all, thank you for not being an ass.. Second, I can't explain how pulling camber out of your car would make it rise, I'm not educated on the front suspension of a z32.. Is it different? If it is that could be the reason. What I know is that I have pulled camber out of my car, made measurements relative to the subframe and crossmember, and done the math, and after doing all this I have come upon the conclusion that adding camber raises the car.

I was mostly pointing out the REAR of my Z32, which is nearly identical so that of an S-chassis and R-chassis.
The front is a miltilink set up, very similar to the rear suspension as well. So the front and rear act very similarly. And each time I've removed camber, that side has raised itself, and each time I've added camber, it lowers itself.

1. If I understand you correctly you're helping my argument, adding camber raises the car, positive or negative. And I would go do this now if my car wasn't 1300 miles away.
2. I have measured the distance of my crossmember and rear subframe, removed camber, then measured again. The car was lower after I took the camber out.


You're right, I agree with you.

I am positive my car got higher after going from -5 to -1 in rear.

I will divulge more into this.


your picture is accurate for a negative offset wheel.

Put the blue line on the other side ;)

My wheels are positive offset. Still sat higher with less camber.

The blue line doesn't even need to be on the other side of the box, just across the front.

Alright... after playing with my box for a little :naughty:... These are my findings

0 offset wheels
Negative Camber Raises car to a point. After some pretty extreme camber it begins to lower it.

Positive Offset Wheels
Negative Camber always Raises height. Until Extreme Camber

Negative Offest Wheels
Raises height until a certain point if close to 0 offset. With a wheel with a greater negative offset it always lowers the height. At what point it raisies and lowers I'm not sure but I believe it's relative to tire width.

if you're stretching the fuck out of a tire and you crank dat, wouldnt you be lower because of how the tire sits on the wheel? they arent square like most normal tires regular folks use, therefor, not raising it. idk, just thoughts

Das wat I was thinking...but it doesn't relate to suspension height, just the tire is standing taller with camber than flat.

did you measure your ride height immediately after you set the car down or did you drive it around to let the coils settle first?...

All that box proves is a point on that box becomes Huber or lower based on its position. What really needs attention is what happens to the suspension when that spindle/axle on the knuckle is pointed upwards; in which I think lowers the suspension. To back that up, more camber is what happens when u dump a stock car down with people in the back. The height lowers and the tire cambers. I'm not saying I'm right, but this should have been cleared up by someone by now.

Wrong.

Negative camber will lower the car.

Oops, Mr Ong beat me to it.

Gotta ask, are you a serious bieber nutswinger? Or did you lose a bet?

OP-Get a clue brah

I had the car like that for weeks. It annoyed the fuck out of me until I finally turned down the collars to go back down.

No.


The angle at which your suspension sits at is going to lower your car far greater than the rise of the tire when you add more negative camber (of which is ONLY going to happen on a HIGH positive offset wheel.

If I gave enough shits I would make a GIF so you could see but as all you guys can do is draw on napkins a spit rhetoric hearsay I'm not wasting my time because the ones of which have actually gone out and done these things are going to know the truth.
