are u talkin about a uni wiper?

 

[DXorcist77]

uni wiper....hell naw!!

Ok hear what da deal is:

U buy some washers and put then in the rear control arm to correct too much negative camber. That's all. Got it?

 

[GOOSE]

do u have to be dropped to do this?

 

[ask_611]

i did it to my car i used 2 washers on each side and my car is droped 2 inches on gc. works fine and is alot cheaper than a kit. i paid $5 for the whole thing

YES..............Otherwise it would be useless. It corrects the amount of negative camber to the rear wheels...due to lowering your car.

okay I did a little research again....each washer that you put on will fix camber by .5 degrees.....you can put 2 washers on the stock bolts, but if you need more than 2, then you have to get longer bolts....

Do you all know how many degrees for every inch?

me = hella lost

 

[wake_rider]

instead of paying for a camber kit for your rear, you can use washers instead. look up the link it will explain better.

washer/camber

I'm lowered two inches on SPRINT SPRINGS. I'm using three washers on my set-up.

every bolt is that you put on gives you about .5 degrees

 

[ImportRacerFF]

Go get your self a new long steel bolt, replace the rear bolt w/ this and add as thick of a washer as you need. You can get some pre done bolts and washers online real cheap (spc has one) (all this does is push the out the tire so that the camber is adjusted, since you don't really need to replace the entire control arm in the rear, however its nice to have poly bushings

 

[EBPimpSi]

what would be the right length bolt if i am lowered about under 2"? 40mm or 45mm?

 

[ask_611]

every inch is about .5 a degree so just use one washer every inch you are dropped.

hope that helps
