DIY Rear Camber Kit - 2000-2005 Eclipse/Stratus - 2006/09/13 10:18 This thread discusses the Content article: DIY Rear Camber Kit - 2000-2005 Eclipse/Stratus

The "Home Depot" camber kit was great! It was easy to do and my rear wheels are now straight as an arrow! It looks much better and it only costed me abotu $20 to go around and get everything. One suggestion though it to get the 7/16 washers to use as the spacers, but still use the 10mm washers next to the 10mm lock washer, because when trying to fit a lot of washers back there without taking off the entire thing AND trying to get the bolt through them all it is quite difficult, but with the 7/16 it's a lot easier and it still tightens down proporly. I used 4 washers per bolt behind the mount and the slightly larger holes helped out tremendously! Also, a hint of advice, either order the kit from Tearstone or make sure you request that a hardware store orders extra washers. I went around 3 different stores to just get 40 washers. Other than having a hard time finding enough washers, the install went very well and was quite simple. Thanks!

I've found that ACE typically has a bigger quantity of metric bolts and washers than anywhere else. Home Depot only like caries 4 of the same kind of bolt in stock at anyone time. I'm glad it worked out for you, considering that even professional alignment shops use shims to do the same job, but this way is much cleaner and cost effective in my opinion. Russ Sanderlin

Damn, $450 to install a camber kit?!? Yes, you should be fine with 5 spacers. I have personally installed this kit on over 100+ cars that I've lowered and the camber was on every time with 5 washers. Russ Sanderlin

Is this a pretty easy mod? Anything i should know about, aside from what people have already posted or from what the instructions say? Any tricks to it? I lowered the car myself and that went pretty smooth. I would really like to adjust the camber myself.

A man after my own heart

As long as you have the right tools it shouldn't be a problem. When I install these I also have a swivel joint that I use between the socket and the extension to get to the bolts up top. I find that it's really easy to do while lowering the car (with the shocks out), but it can be done with the shocks in as well. The only bolt with any degree of difficulty is the bolt next to where the fuel neck comes down to the gas tank on the passenger side. Russ Sanderlin
