Camber On Lifted Lib

Post by chriSTIan » Sun Nov 25, 2007 9:58 am

Hi,since i've lifted my lib i haven't done a wheel alignment and i am due for one.
Since it is lifted,what are the camber adjustments i should ask for?
At the moment the top of my wheels are out.
Thanx
Chris

Did you put the strut tops in the correct way around?

You can do the camber a bit your self if you want. Just undo the two bolts on each strut and turn the camber bolt until you see the hub work itself to the inside. Front only though.

With the rears your tops should have the correct offset on them. You also need to make sure your springs/struts aren't rubbing on the body and pushing it out. You can adjust toe at the rear which also affects your camber if need be.

Yeah you will need 4 wheel alignment, just let them know that you upgraded the suspensions and they'll do the rest of the work, if there was something wrong they would let you know. I did that with mine after upgrading to outback springs.
