Front Camber Arm Assembly & Instructions

REQUIRMENT: FRONT CAMBER ARMS MUST BE USE WITH SOLID BEARING ADUSTABLE TENSION RODS

FRONT CAMBER ARMS (COMPONENT LIST)

1. Inner camber arm section x2 (ICA)

2. Outer camber arm section x2 (OCA)

3. Center turn buckle x2

4. Inner lock nut x2 (ILN)

5. Outer lock nut x2(OLN)

 



FRONT CAMBER ARMS (ASSEMBLY)

1.      Start with the inner camber arms section (ICA). This part will have the unthreaded offset for clearance of the inner suspension mounting bracket. Thread the inner lock nut (designated by the markings) counterclockwise on to the Inner camber arms section. Make sure it is hand threaded on all the way to the end of the threads.

 

2.      Thread on the center turn buckle counterclockwise. The center section will be marked with the groove as the inner side. Make sure it is hand threaded on all the way until it stops against the inner lock nut

 

 

 

 

3.      Thread on the outer lock nut clockwise on to the outer camber arm section. Make sure it is hand threaded on all the way to the end of the threads.

 

4.      Complete the assembly by threading on the outer camber arm section to the open end of the Center turnbuckle all the way until it stops.

 

 

 

5.      Repeat steps 1-4 to assemble the second camber arm. 


PREINSTALLATION SET UP

 

With the camber arms completely assembled, the will be shorter than the sock camber arms. Loosen both lock nuts just enough to adjust the front camber arm assemblies so they are the stock length by twisting the center turn buckle to lengthen the arm. DO NOT Spin either side of the camber arm independently as it will cause an uneven balance and lack of adjustment when installed. Adjustment should always be achieved by twisting the turnbuckle ONLY. If you are unsure if the arm is uneven or if one side gets twisted independently, make/adjust the camber arm back to the original assembly size or its shortest length and then readjust/lengthen by twisting the turn buckle. Repeat for both sides.

 

 

 

 

 

ORIENTAION IN BRACKET

 

Make sure when installing into the suspension bracket that the camber arm is oriented properly. Once the arm is bolted back in to the car, make sure to tighten the lock nuts with wrenches. To tighten, you will need to use 2 wrenches. One to hold the center turn buckle in place and one to tighten the lock nuts against the turn buckle.

 

After both sides are installed, a professional alignment is required.

 

 

 

***EXTREMELY IMPORTANT***

ATTENTION INSTALLER / ALIGNMENT TECHNICIAN

There are specific measurements that should never be exceeded for safe use of the front camber arms.

Over extending the camber arms is dangerous and can cause the arms to become structurally insufficient.

1.     DO NOT EXCEED A TOTAL ARM LENGTH OF 9.0125 INCHES

2.     DO NOT EXCEED MORE THAN .60 INCHES OF EXPOSED THREADS

If more positive camber adjustment is needed, we have extended center sections to accommodate more positive camber adjustments safely. Please contact us if you need the extended center turn buckle sections. 

 

 

 

 

 

AFTER ALIGNMENT IS COMPLETE

 

After the alignment is professionally set and the lock nuts are completely tightened, we recommend the use of LOCTITE #290. LOCTITE #290 is a specially formulated thread lock agent that is designed to work on already assembled components as it will wick itself into the threads of assembled and tightened camber arms. Apply LOCTITE on either side of the lock nuts and in between lock nuts and center turnbuckle

 

 

 

MAINTENANCE

 

With any installation of aftermarket suspension components, it is suggested in the same time frame intervals of regularly scheduled oil changes to check any adjustable components to ensure that all is tight and locked down.

Any noises associated with the suspension movement such as clunking, popping, or rattling should be immediately inspected as may be caused by something that is loose.
