ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    fix positive camber

    I hit a curb and now have 1 degree of positive camber on front right wheel. Does anyone have a suggestion for a product to adjust -1 degree, preferably cheap, as I hope to fix the problem properly in the future.

    1) how do you know you have 1 degree of positive camber? you had it checked? if so, he should have told you what was bent that caused it

    2) fix what's bent because it could be dangerous.....more than likely, you bent your knuckle which isn't that hard to replace.......you may have also bent the strut, tie rod, wheel, control arm, hub, or front crossmember
    ....and on the 7th day, deevergote rested and called his mom.

      The curb bashing occured in January, and I've been driving it since. Nothing is bent enough to be obvious when you look at it. I had it checked at NTB. I dont consider anyone there to be an expert, he just told me what was obvious. He said "Looks like the lower control arm. The spindle (steering knuckle) and crossmember could be bent too." I don't believe the strut or tie rod is bent. It seems to me that the lower control arm is not bent enough to cause 1 degree positive. And the steering knuckle is pretty thick too. The bracket on the crossmember where the lower control arm mounts looks like the weakest link to me and seems most likely to push in. I dont know of any way to know exactly what parts are bent. If anyone knows please tell me. If it is anything other than the crossmember, I can easily replace it. If it is the crossmember, it looks like more work than I care to do without the engine being out, as there are many things connected to it.Yes, the wheel was obviously ruined. I have since put prelude wheels on the car. Two of the tires that came on the wheels are completely bald and need to be replaced immediately. I already have 4 new tires waiting to go on but Im not putting them on until the alignment is corrected.
