Smile Adjustable camber?

Does anyone know if the camber is adjustable on the Calibers? I have just put lowering springs on mine and forgot to check, to see if the arms were adjustable and can't be bothered to get it back up on a ramp. Just for others info, the lowering springs have stopped front wheel wobble on acceleration and as much as 60% of body roll!!!

Ventura sport springs, Made in Holland, bought off of Ebay. Guess I'm gonna have to put the old girl back on a ramp then.

Just used these universal camber bolts. But the adjustment are limited, you can probably move it by half of a degree or so.

If you need more than that, you'll just have to grind the upper hole on the strut larger.

Hi Steak59

I have just booked my Cali in, for 4 wheel alignment next week, to see how far the camber is out.

Those cam bolts you mentioned, are they only for front struts or can they be fitted on the rears as well?

Will check back next week, with my alignment report.

They are only for the front camber.


Rear strut doesn't control camber, there is a Toe Link that is adjustable from the factory that can change the camber "slightly", but if you are looking for more than a degree in the rear, you may need to look into adjustable control arms.
