Eibach camber kit Q's

Does anyone know what parts come in the camber kit? I can't find a description anywhere. I was thinking on going down one more inch all the way around. I know the 96-03 was a cam bolt. Anyone install this?

just got the kit in.... I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend getting this kit if you are going to be getting an alignment kit.....

I currently have the NAPA kit on the truck and it just flat out SUCKS... the tabs on that the adjusting cam rides against have all bent.... leaving my alignment out all the time... just dont get this kit....

Here are the pictures... The cam bolt is just that.. a one peice machined eccentric cam with a bolt milled right to it... the CRAPA kit uses a glorified washer as the eccentric cam.... The Eibach kit uses a cast plate with very thick flanges for the eccentric cam bolt to ride against making it virtually impossible for this thing to bend like the NAPA peice did..... You also get to re use your stock LCA bolts which unlike the NAPA one, is a big plus....

Here are the pictures.... if you have any questions feel free to ask...








AGAIN, I am VERY happy with the build quality of these cam kits from eibach... I have been having very bad issues with companies not tightening the OEM stock slot and bolts to full spec and having them slip out of alignment. the NAPA kit that I have bent and was very poorly designed and made.

goes on the LCA... to adjust camber. It wont give you anymore adjustment than what is already available from the factory... just helps in the alignment process and helps keep the bolt from slipping in the camber adjustment slot

Cutting the tie rod and the tie rod end wont help your camber just your toe If you want to fix your camber you need to oval the LCA bolt holes so you can move them in more.

Check out this link from Belltech.

I notched the bolt holes and have room for more adjustment but I can't get anymore camber out of the front until the rod and end is cut.

Ya that was the first thing we did on the Girl Friends was cut the tie rod and the end still haven't notched the LCA holes and it is almost in spec. I was more worried about the toe being out then the camber as with bad toe it would kill her tires and they aren't the cheapest to replace.

How far out is the front? How much did you take off? With my cross member notched and tie rods bottomed out i am only 1 degree negative. And i plan on taking 1/2 inch off tie rod and the end. And try to drop it 2 more inches in the front.
