Massaging camber into a stock front end

handyman · 05-29-2011, 08:11 PM

So, in my quest for more front camber while staying CS legal for autocross (can't use aftermarket A-arms) I'm considering loosening all the bolts on the front suspension components and using what little play there might be in the bolt holes to squeeze a little more camber out of it. Has anyone tried this or worked with the front suspension enough to know if it may work?

Negative, there is practically no play. You will not get any additional camber out of it.

Did this on my 350. You might get a few tenths out of it. I got .3 on the drivers and .2 on the passengers. Man the 350 was hard on front tires on an autocross course...
