Rear lower control arms
 
anyone know of rear lower control arms that are more adjustable for camber than the stocks, got the 25mm spacers and tryed gettin alignment

either my suspensions sitting too low in the back
or bushings gone
or the spacer is adding more camber

how high does ur 4.8is sit from the ground to the fender flare?

if you are going to do that so you can change the height of the rear, no need to do that. Just recalibrate using GT1/DIS. When the calibration program asks you to mesure the height at each wheel, adjust the mesurements for the back to what ever you want and you're done.

Is your problem that you can't get the camber within just stock spec? Probably the bushings are bad. Can't remember if you can just replace the bushings or replace the control arm and it comes with new bushings.

I have 30mm spacers.

Spacers do not change camber. The correct way to measure ride height is from the center point of the wheel center cap to the wheel arch, this measurement remove the variables of tire wear and different tire diameters.

kkk
im pretty sure the ride height/bushings must b the problem than its got 104000km now



thx for replys


is this the correct +-10mm
btm of rim to wheel arch of
20' 708mm with 2 axle low slung
723mm 2 axle normal

If you're getting the SLS Inactive message you should get your X scanned. When SLS Inactive shows it automatically disables the switch. Sitting lower than normal is not, by itself, the cause of the switch not working.

Something is off. Leaking air suspension maybe. Check for leaks by spraying soapy water on the connections and airbags.

1 sensor invalid reading and steering angle sensor invalid reading

i thought id get it aligned then diagnose the air suspension
car goes left on highway a little, but the alignment is ok up front and camber is the problem out back, the rolling DIA of the back R tire is more than the rest which could be a factor

my indy told me same thing=go fix the sls light/bring ride height up 10-12mm
