If it is lowered it needs more -camber just toe in some more. This is for standard BF though. I have the XR as well if anyone wants it. 31 minutes ago, arronm said: What they mean is they dont have enough thread for the thickness of shims to adjust. Huh, this sounds weird...

I know what works best. Google how the adjustment is made and then you will understand about not enough thread.

What they mean is they dont have enough thread for the thickness of shims to adjust. Yeah I know what they are saying. The nut on the bolt can't be unthreaded enough to get another shim in there.

adams355 Member 529 Member For: 8y 12d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 17/09/18 06:31 AM Share Posted 17/09/18 06:31 AM Just so everybody knows this is completely wrong (see below). If you need a wheel alignment take it to arronm, apparently only he knows.

The nut on the bolt can't be unthreaded enough to get another shim in there. So did they put shims in? Lets find out so arronm will be happy. Mine is SSSL and I had shims taken out. I don't have a camber kit I.e. 'longer threads'...

However, my stance regarding wheel alignment remains.
