So I got some coilovers on my 07. I cant lower it much before I notice there is a TON of negative camber in the rear.

I dont understand what the problem is because my 05 is lowered and I had no rear camber issue. My 05 rear fender is an inch or so over the sidewall of the tire. No camber issue? -But I lower the 07 even an inch, its riding on the corner of the tire.

What are my options here, other than raising to stock height? There is no camber adjustment on the rear coils. Is there anything adjustable on stock parts on the rear?

Thanks!

 

I am not an expert in this area. I know the stock rear laterals has one arm with an adjustment coupling. Granted, since only one has the adjuster, I would expect that to be a tow adjustment, not a camber adjustment, but I wonder if that still plays into this. That is the best I can come up with.

 

What kind of struts / coilovers did you put on it? Are you sure they're in spec? Can it hit alignment spec at stock ride height?

Camber wil naturally increase with lowering, but if it's so far out you can visually see it tipped at just an inch, something sounds broken / improperly made.

There are a couple options for adjusting camber - I believe the factory manual calls for slotting one strut hole to allow the knuckle to be rotated slightly. Lots of aftermarket shops will suggest eccentric camber bolts as that's quicker and easier for them to do.

But Id hesitant to start doing that stuff as it sounds like something is out of whack. The camber bolts alone only get you a couple of degrees and from your explanation, it sounds like a double digit camber issue.

 

The 2007s usually get more rear camber when lowered due to small suspension geometry changes. Since there is no factory adjustment, an aftermarket camber kit is your best option. Also check rear toe, as it can make camber wear worse.

 

Totally forgot and abandoned this thread.

Nothing ended up being wrong with the car. I just have it low enough to need custom adjustments.

I ended up getting a set of camber bolts and got close enough. I plan to slot the struts in the future though because I want to go lower and the cam bolts wont allow it.
