Im getting my tires rotated in a few min. but Im going to DCT and they wont touch camber.

my tires are worn to hell after 7000miles. the inside edge is gone, outside edge is untouched(it doesnt touch the ground, literally)

Id like to set it a bit more upright, can this be done by turning a screw or something somewhere? even if its just front or just rear. I dont want to hit a specific number, just less than there is now...

 

camber is not adjustable on the 350Z.... at least the front camber. I think on the rear there is a little bit of adjustment, but not enought to make much difference.

You can buy aftermarket parts that will allow for adjustability for the front and rear... the front parts range from about $400 to $900 for the adjustable upper control arms... the rear parts a about $300 for the lower camber arms.

Ares- you can adjust rear camber by using the eccentric washer on each rear camber arm. It's located where the arm attaches to the inside rear subframe of the car. Unfortunately, it's limited in scope and probably offers only three-quarters to a degree of camber. If you've lowered your car, it's not enough to get the rear back into the range recommended by Nissan. As PeteH alluded to, the rear camber arms are available from a variety of vendors. I've got the Kinetix ones on my track and am quite happy with them.

The fronts are another story. Again, the front upper A-arms are non-adjustable and there is the aftermarket with some options. How about taking your Z out to the local autocross or Z track day? THAT will even out those unblemished outside edges!

 

doh... ares that sucks

what brand tires were you running? 7000 miles seems like very little mileage

 

toyo t1s in front, bridgestone F1DS or something on rear.

now its toyo RA1's in back.

gonna have to put the arms on the shopping list. sucks, cause that really wouldnt be my choice on how to spend 500-1000$. doubt itll really help anything but tire wear. If I had to guess Id say I have 4-5degrees of negative camber. its not pretty. extremely noticable. and no, its not dropped at all, suspension is totally stock. rims are even a pretty normal offset, not aggressive at all.

PS. toyo RA1s grip like hell.

 

If you're running stock suspension you should NOT have that kind of tire wear. You should get the dealer to check the alignment instead of just eating tires or spending money for aftermarket adjusters. Even with the Nismo S-tune setup (includes minimal drop) the suspension is supposed to be adjustable to within specs without add-ons.

 

I discovered that my rear alignment was out of spec when the dealership checked the alignment for all four wheels due to tire roar. The dealership asked me to bring the car back during the week so that they could get Nissan tech line to help them figure out how to adjust toe and camber in the rear. Apparently, it's not a typical config

 

I'd find another dealer fast. Aligning the rear is very simple. Any tech should know how.

 

Brand new dealership, and I wouldn't be surprised if the the mechanics came straight out of tech school (if even that).

 

yeah I might ask em, they need to do the window fix(grease and autoup) along with the second bose fix. see if theyll touch the camber, if they want Im sure theyll say no cause of the rims and tires.

 

dnguyent: Good luck then. Since they don't know how to adjust it's very possible they don't even know how to use the machine properly
