FX Rear toe and camber kits.

I only had a few bolts modified for the slot. What you'll need is the SPC camber bolt kit, SPC toe bolt kit if you think it's that far out of spec. It's a give and take on the camber toe, having both would allow for max adjustment using the oem components.

Here's a link to the parts http://www.spcperformance.com/PROD_DIR/SPCPerf_PROD_SEARCH_DYN.cfm?cmd=Cam&cmd2=72055&cmd3=

The bolts I have are keyed for those washers so you need those washer and the lock nut in those kits to make it work. PM your address and I'll get them shipping out.
 
Hello Rookie,

Just got my FX, after reading almost every post on this site, i still got some Q's if you could help....

1. Just installed H&R's Springs, tech advised me to get camber kit because something about the hole doesn't line up anymore for them to align???

2. The link you gave on SPC says its for G35, will this also work for our FX's? If so, should I order 2 sets to take care of front and rear?

3. When i looked up our FX on SPC under application parts, it brought me to this part number: http://www.spcperformance.com/PROD_DIR/SPCPerf_PROD_SEARCH_DYN.cfm?cmd=Cam&cmd2=81260&cmd3= Which part should i be getting, this one or the one your link went to? Also does each kit come with everything bolt, washer and nut?

Thanks Rookie

Dak,

Was it your front left camber that's out of spec?

My front left camber is currently out of factory specifications by 0.2 degrees. This was the only issue I've faced during alignment after the installation of H&R springs.

I'm not too concerned about the 0.2 degrees of camber since I don't drive my FX all that much.
 
Confusious??

Mongolian,

Well i dont have the specs right now because the tech said he wouldn't be able to do it, so he didnt want me to waist my money. He said come back after you get the kit installed then do the alignment.... bro i so confused with these issues, which one gets adjusted toe or camber? or both? is there a toe and camber in the front and back? Im new to this thing, i had a dropped truck before and that was only with drop blocks and drop spindles, this whole strut thing with coils, i need to be educated in.

I'm pretty sure it's your camber. I did my alignment 3 months after lowering my FX with H&R and the toe was able to be corrected. I'm sure Rookie can assist you with your problem. It's probably a good idea to know what alignment specs are off so that he can provide you better guidance.
 
Rookie i got some questions too that almost the same as Dak questions ..
im ordering the H&R kit .. shall i order camber sets too .. the problem is that i live in dubai .. so i dont want to waste time ordering the H&R first which will take around 10 days to get here and then order the camber kit after that .. so shall i get them all together ? u think i'll need them .. since im also planning on changing to 22" wheels, will they effect the alignment?

I'm not sure what the tech means by the holes not lining up. The stock set up does allow for some adjustment, the SPC kit replaces the bolt, and cam washer. The issue with the rear camber point is our subframe is thicker so the spc bolt is too short to use which is why I had some longer bolts machined to replace the spc bolts.

The SPC link is for a front camber adjustment bolt mod. Our fronts are not that adjustable, but can be adjusted if the camber is off.

Example is this. I hit something with my left front wheel on the freeway doing about 80. Later on when I dropped my front all the way down I noticed the top of the front left wheel was sunk in more than the right. It was even before so I knew it had been moved by the impact. The next time I had the chance to do any adjustment to the front suspension I loosened the bolts holding the strut to the spindle and pulled the strut towards me (positive camber direction) when I tightened everything back together and it was all back to normal.

That SPC bolt probably requires a little notching and adds a cam washer or bolt to achieve the same thing. The notching probably adds addition degrees of adjustment.

I don't believe any front camber is being adjusted by the alignment shops unless they know there is some play in the mounting point and are unbolting the strut from the spindle.
 
Thanks Rookie, I'm actually goin to print wat u said and bring it dwn to the shop so there is no confusion....

I just bought the other day the APRIL 08 edition of TURBO and i see u got the front cover shot or actually ur the main event! very nice!!

thanks again

The link I provided is for the rear camber bolt and rear toe bolt kits. Our suspension configuration is the same as the G/Z with the exception that the length of the camber bolt in the SPC kit is too short because our subframe thickness. The SPC kit for the toe adjustment will fit right off the shelf, it may allow for enough toe adjustment without sacrificing camber and vice versa. So the camber kit may not be needed if stock camber adjustment can be maxed out with the stock point before doing the toe adjustment.

Hope that makes sense.

This is the SPC kit that can be used for the toe. http://www.spcperformance.com/PROD_DIR/SPCPerf_PROD_SEARCH_DYN.cfm?cmd=Cam&cmd2=72055&cmd3=
This is the SPC kit that can be used for the camber if longer bolts can be machined down to the cam washer opening. http://www.spcperformance.com/PROD_DIR/SPCPerf_PROD_SEARCH_DYN.cfm?cmd=Cam&cmd2=72055&cmd3=

It's the same kit. :tongue:

One of the G35 guys with RAS (Rear Active Steer) said their mount point is also thicker than the standard SPC bolt. 1.800.525.6505 and talked to Doug, part number for the 10mm longer bolt that fits their washer is 722653
 
Dang I'm more confused now, i think i will just get all 3 parts

A. SPC #81260 for the front camber
B. SPC #72055 for rear toe
C. SPC #72265 for rear camber (10mm longer bolts)
 
I don't think you need the front kit but you can order it just in case.
You need 2 of the 72055 kits, 1 for the rear camber point 1 for the rear toe point.
72265 will be replacement bolts for the 72055 kit used on the rear camber point.

Well if one kit of the 72055 comes wit 2 bolts, i can use 1 bolt for the 2 (L/R) rear toe point, then get one kit of the 72265 cuz it also comes wit 2 bolts, and use 1 bolt for each rear (L/R) camber point.... basically there are 4 bolts all together in the rear right? 2 left and 2 right = 4 and each kit comes wit 2 bolts so a total of 4... make sense??

fuk i got a headache now....:confused:
 
The extended bolts do not come with the cam washers or the nut, it's a replacement part for configurations that need a longer bolt and are keyed/machined to accept the cam washer which does the adjustment.

Comparison pics. Stock toe bolt, camber bolt is the same deal just a little longer. Toe kit and the new longer bolt needed to fit correctly.

You need the washer for and the nut because it's a standard thread vs a metric thread.

I just answered your questions. What part is confusing you?

Each 72055 kits comes with 2 bolts, 2 nuts, 2 cam washers
Camber point and toe point need 1 of each kit to add in the adjustment needed if you can not get back into spec
The FX stock camber point is too thick for the 72055 kits bolt
The FX requires a longer bolt to make the 72055 kit work
72265 is the longer bolts needed
 
ok thnx, i thought u were answering Daklee's question only .. my friend lives in LA so im gonna order the H&Rs through infinitipartsusa.com to his billing address .. so i think i'll have to do the same with the parts u mentioned too :)

ooops, I feel like an ass. :embarrassed:

I don't think anyone has really needed these camber and toe kits. The drops with the springs are not that big that the stock points become insufficient. But if you want to make sure you have what is needed to get all the way back into spec the parts listed above should do it. :biggrin:
 
see what i think is i'll be needing them since that almost all the roads in dubai are under construction and bumpy .. and we got road bumps almost everywhere ... i had problems with my drop where the front L&R lower arms were effected and eventually had to replace them with new ones .. thnx for ur help & effort anyways ;)
