adjustable lower control arm

[Sledgods]

does anyone know of an in-expensive adjustable lower control arm? my car is lowered and i need to pull the bottom of the wheels in!

 

[bmoha2]

tops of the wheels out. Camber kit. Longer bolts and washers in the rear.

 

[Sledgods]

ya but if the tops of my wheels come out anymore they will rub on the wheel wells

or lift your car or suffer irregular tire wear. How wide are your 19s? What size are your tires? What si the offset of your rims?

 

[Sledgods]

they are the stock rims. 98 gst spyder

 

[vancitydsm]

stock rims r rubbing on ## fender? how much is ## car lowered?

 

[bmoha2]

sure shouldn't happen with stock 17s unless your car is slammed.

 

[Sledgods]

they are not rubbing on the fender right now but if i pull the top out it will.
do you know where i can get some adjustable lower control arms?

the car has been lowerd 2 inches

 

[turbosax2]

I have never seen adjustable lower control arms for our cars.

 

[PieEyedPiper]

They don't exist. And 2inches is much too low from any performance stand point.

What are your alignment specs?
What suspension setup are you using? Shocks? Springs? Full coilovers? (Hint: update your car profile)

As mentioned, you have to either:
a) leave it and suffer tire wear, though toe is the real killer.
b) raise the car and use an appropriate camber kit, or just rock some camber.

if a), then c).

c) save money for new shocks, cause unless you have a fantastic setup the inevitable awaits.

Like PieEyedPiper said... if I was you, I'd just take it get aligned and tell them to zero out the toe. The camber won't hurt a thing.... the TOE IN (or out) is what will kill your tires.

 

[bmoha2]

right off. Many of us know this by experience.

ONLY if your Toe is out of adjustment. Your camber can be as negative as you want it, IF your Toe is zeroed out. In fact, it helps in cornering.

 

[bmoha2]

and my toe was zerod and it still wore off the inside corners of my tires

With stock wheels and tires, you'll have plenty of room to adjust camber, even without rolling the fenders.

 

[Sledgods]

not the way it is right now. it's about an inch from the fender right now
