Adjustable camber arms...alignment time! More parts?

So if you just did rear camber arms, it shouldn't be bad at all. Hmmm. Adjusting the SPL camber arms should be pretty easy. You should keep the tires on

So if you just did rear camber arms, it shouldn't be bad at all. Hmmm. Adjusting the SPL camber arms should be pretty easy. You should keep the tires on the ground, and if you wanna go a step further, roll the tires up on some folded up trashbags. They are slippery, and allows the tires to move as you adjust so you can see what your adjustments are doing.

Well, not really. I was thinking you wouldn't need to mess with the Toe, since you didn't change it. BUT, if it looks off, you can change it. I was thinking you might just need to touch up the camber using the new SPL part you just installed.

If you do adjust the toe bolts, you don't really wrench away at them. Here's how they work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQvBBXZ_cKI

You're just moving the Toe in and out (bolt moves left and right)

You can see how when you dremel out to make those elongated holes longer, and put in different bolts, you can adjust even more. Thats what your mechanic was talking about.
