kmgar99 Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 :help: Can anyone point me in the direction of setting the camber on the front wheels of my 97? I just finished installing the AC 3" lift with new coils all around, new Bilstein's in the rear and new KYB struts up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_johnson Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Check out this guys website:project Pathfinder Go to suspension and look at his detailed procedure for camber adjustment. BTW, the lift looks awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Just by chance, did you measure before and after to see how much you got from that lift kit? I thought it was just a 2" lift. Remember, the coils will settle in after a bit and you'll get a bit less out of them. I'd just take it to have a front end alignment. $45 versus messing it up yourself = clear choice to me.

kmgar99 Posted April 2, 2004 Author Share Posted April 2, 2004 BigJ thanks for the site link....and 88 here you go ......REAR BEFORE = 3 7/8" from fender flare to top of tire (using a level) AFTER = 7" (Using same level) Definitely a true 3" lift My front was measured at 3" stock but I haven't measured the difference yet....due to camber settings being way off Thanks Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmgar99 Posted April 2, 2004 Author Share Posted April 2, 2004 Quick measure in the front = 2" Front Lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmgar99 Posted April 2, 2004 Author Share Posted April 2, 2004 I'm not sure an alignment shop can adjust the camber on the 97's? Unless the CV shaft and the idler arm (Steering arm) are adjustable....but I think that would put too much stress pushing out on the lower end of the spindle! I don't know...maybe I'm talking out my but again? I will call the alignment shop later today after I get back from Paintball. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_johnson Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 that's a pretty big rear lift :o . Your stock springs were probably sagging a bit (just like mine ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dank Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Yeah i think my Pathy's got a saggy A$$ too. LOL. But everyone says the initial lift is 3" but as the coils settle, it'll be 2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dupersc Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I have Ingall camber kits on my truck for while and they are good. Doing their job to keep the alignment within specs For $12/each, I think they're worth it. Maybe without the rear mudflap made the rear looks taller? Illusion? :o ....
