mrkim_ Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hi guys, Newbie here and just getting into the off-roading world!! I have a 2004 Pathfinder that I just installed new AC lift (2 inch) and already having problem. My wheel is sitting in a wierd angle like this --> \ / Litterly, the bottom of the both wheel is sitting more inner towards the engine. I figured that it will cause me huge headache later one so I want to fix this problem. Anyone ran into this problem? Any sugesttion or answer will be help full Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman2989 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Your local auto store might have camber bolts as well. Not sure what you may have close to you, and if they offer the same thing, but it might save you some money/shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you may have close to you, and if they offer the same thing, but it might save you some money/shipping. I have lordco that is the closest one and Canadian Tire but I highly doubt that Canadian tire would have them. So if I buy this camber bolts, just install them and it will fix the problem? or I actually need to bring it into the shop to get them professionally align the wheel?

SilverPath Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Well, you could install them yourself and get your wheels fairly straight by taking measurements. However you can only get it so close. At a shop they can get it on a rack and have it almost dead on with their computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewulf73 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Take it to a shop. that way you'll be sure the camber AND toe are right where they should be. There is a very slight chance you might have to use two bolts per side (one on top, on on the bottom) or elongate the top bolt hole in both struts for further adjustment. Where in BC are you?

devonianwalk Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I've used two sets (on bolt on top and bottom) and have little to no camber issues. I'd be more concerned with the tow as that will eat your tread much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatup96 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'm in the ordering stage for my rebuild , and I've been wondering about that kit . Does each kit consist of two bolts for each side , or one bolt ? Will ordering two kits get me two bolts for each side ? welcome to the forums https://www.4x4parts.com/nissan/pathfinder-camber-alignment-kit-p-2809.html that will fix your problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 1 kit = 2 bolts. I have two kits so that I could use two bolts on each strut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in North Vancouver, Do you know any good alignment shop in Vancouver?? I ma thinking about buying the new camber sets and take it to the shop. Since I am mobile, I can go anywhere to align my wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewulf73 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Not in North Van. If you're ever in Richmond, there is a shop I use for alignments...can't think of the name right now though... North Shore off road I think also has a garage. They might be able to do your alignment...I'll get back to you on the richmond shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theexbrit Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I had the same issue (Positive camber) after I installed the NX4 spacers with the lift, camber bolts didn't help me at all as the posi camber was so bad. Without the spacers though you should be fine with the bolts, you could always slot the top bolt hole to give yourself more camber adjustment if needed.

I'm still scratching my head with that one. I wish I could have parked next to your rig to compare our set ups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when you drive out here for some mine/desert trips............... So, I'm guessing you took out the spacers? Yeah, I liked the look with the spacers but until I can slot the top bolt holes I'm "Mr. Rake". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Well when you drive out here for some mine/desert trips............... I would but, the camber would eat the inside of my treads by the time I reached Arizcalifornexas (where the heck are you?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkim_ Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) So I just ordered the camber bolt kit from 4x4 parts and installing them with the alignment when I get them. See whrere that take me lol Edited June 2, 2013 by mrkim_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewulf73 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 You didn't have to order from them...I'm sure you could've found them at a Lordco and had them same day or the next... How many did u order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkim_ Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Actually, Lordco was more expensive then 4x4. They were quoting me like $52 per bolt. It was better for me to order from 4X4 and pick them up from the US. I ordered 2 kits so toltal of 4 bolts. It will arrive this Saturday Edited June 10, 2013 by mrkim_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are more expensive...pretty much everything here, to do with motorvehicles and their modification is 1.5-4 times more expensive for us than it is for our southern neighbours. Even with the dollar at near par...go figure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
