suspension/alignment issues after lowering questions...

**darlep** · 09-18-2009, 11:15 PM

I want to lower my 3.5 Magnum, but what alignment issues should I see afterwards. Can you adjust the camber in these cars or just the toe? The last car I lowered was my Cobalt SS/SC and had some minor negative camber in the front...but was no big issue. Anyone have some more insight on what to expect or what can and cannot be adjusted. Thanks!

when i had mine done, they could only adjust the camber in the front. they can do castor/toe front and back

There seems to be no camber adjustment on these cars unless you add some kind of kit.

When I lower my car with the Hotchkis TVS kit I dropped the car a td more then 1.5" and I had some front and rear camber issues. Didnt see it wearing tires out faster or anything.

In my Hemi Registry page I have the alignment sheet in there some place if you want to take a lookie.

Same with my mag, I lowered it with the Eibach prokit w/dampers, she went down an inch and a quarter all around, the guy said I have slight negative camber, barely out of spec and should not cause tire wear. The toe is whats important to have correct, that will wear tires fast.

Eibach and Pedders (I believe) make rear camber adjustment mods. HHP sells the Eibach. Others may be available now, I haven't checked to see if Moog makes something.

**edit**

Just checked RockAuto, both Raybestos and Moog make mods for adjusting the rear camber. Here's the link:
