Can some one tell me or direct me to what is camber, caster, and toe.

Also, is there any DIY on adjusting the camber?

Sorry if these questions has been asked before.

Thanks everybody!

to adjust camber on your car, you will need camber plates

What?! Is this April fools day or something? The Helm manual will tell you how to adjust camber, caster, and toe in the front, and camber and toe in the rear.

And why is it so hard to type "camber caster toe" into Google and see what comes out? http://www.ozebiz.com.au/racetech/theory/align.html

Wow! I didn't know that. The guy doing my alignment is stupid. That is what he told me, so I just believed him. Thanks for the info. I'm going back to get re-aligned.

While it's possible to do a DIY alignment, you'll need to buy camber/toe gauges and break out some measuring tapes, as well as having a way to level the car on the floor which won't be level.

It's safe to say a DIY alignment is a bigger PITA than it's worth. The best solution is to find a local alignment shop who does good work.

perfectly worded

unless you are a hardcore racer(which if you are, you don't really need to ask what's camber, toe, caster, scrub angle, dave point, GC, squeal, dive, etc j/k ) just have the pro does it, they have laser and computerized rack.


there's on the fly alignment rack with laser that does it on the track parking lot, they will run you alot of money to able to do it portablely
