GZ20 Adjustable Rear Camber Arms (need some)

[gztwenty]

I have a GZ20, and I'm sick of going through rear tyres cos only 1inch is getting used. Anybody know where I can get adjustable rear camber arms, or a way of overcoming this problem (not by raising the car) I was thinking of going to Fulcrum and getting some offset bused made up. Or having custom camber arms made. Running 200rwkw to 10mm of tread kinda sucks. Thanks guys

they should have camber bolts from factory but probly wont give the adjustment needed. im still trying to find some arms to make a jig off but no luck as yet.

i had a bit of camber on my rear wheels on my gz20 and i got it adlusted back to spec by the wheel alignment guy at my work.... have u tried just gettin a 4wheel alignment? coz i think almost all suspension angles r adjustable on gz20's....

If you go and get a wheel allignment they should be able to take out a considerable ammount of camber.

The camber on my gz20 cant be adjusted... :S

On the top camber arm, there is no way to adjust it. There are 2 bottom arms/rods. For castor and toe i think.

1 is for camber and it can be adjusted.

Cool, will give it a go tomorrow morning. Cheers. It better work hehe

The bottom arm thingy looks like toe adjustment, on the chassis it had a nut with a disc, on it it has increments. that the one you talking about? can be seen from the rar of the car.

the bottom arm should be camber and the toe adjustment will be on a seperate bolt. BTW you cant adjust one and not reset the other so make sure you have some nifty tools handy.

Hmm, will give it a go. How 'nifty' are these tools required? So ur saying, unbolt the toe/castor rod, then adjust the bottom camber arm?

[gztwenty]

YES! I did it. Thanks mate. Probably need to do a wheel alignment cos my toe will be out more than likely. But I fixed the camber. Has heaps more grip on the blacktop now. At first, i wound them the wrong way, put the wheel back on, and lowered in to the ground. Like 5deg negative camber, looked AWSOME!, but i had to put it back up

Thanks again guys. I took pics for anyone who wants to know how to do it again, so they dont take as long as it did for me, hehe. The left took a while cos i was scratching my head a bit, but the right took me like 5mins including jacking, removing wheel, adjusting, and then back to normal.

the nifty tools are the ones you need to do a proper alignment. stringline, a rule and some alignment tools and you will be good to go, or an alignment place and $90 odd for a good one.
