Camber adjustments, how is it done? What parts move?

I installed Eibach Pro kit on my 2006 G35x today. (its raining, ill have pics soon) Looks amazing but I think my camber is off a little bit. I am going to take it into nissan and have them do a 4 wheel alignment, but I am curious....

How do they adjust camber? What parts move/adjust?


Here is a diagram of my suspension to help use communicate what parts are involved:


Front: (06x)


Rear: (06x, and also same as RWD)

Ok.... I guess I can answer my own question after reading the service manual a bit more.


The rear can be adjusted with the inner bolt on the rear lower link (the one furthest away from the wheel).

The front can't be adjusted at all apparently. Its fixed ... I hope its within spec.

Anyone know of a camber kit that works on the X? They are so expensive... I only paid $220 for the eibach kit.

just looking at the kits, it looks like the front camber kits replace the upper link (which isnt wierd on the X.. should be the same as the RWD)


the rear would be the same as the RWD. replaces the front lower link.. i think.

I asked what camber kits work for the X in the sticky thread up top...

Anyone know much about camber kits for the X?... one thats not super expensive?

I'm not 100% sure if there are camber kits for the X.

If the camber kits that work on the RWD, also work on the X then look into SPC front and rear camber arms.

Just purachased the rear for $170 give or take. Fronts run i I thin $400. Look in the market place, under vendors suspension for a better answer.

Thats awesome. now I need to figure out which ones are not crap, but still cheap. Stillen wants like $800+ for each kit.. thats just stupid.

I found a 'kit' on everythingg35.com which has the cusco fronts and the Intense rears for $495. Still seems like a lot of money for what they are.

Anyone know of a better deal or have experience with these things?

It looks like the SPC front camber kit also comes with caster adjustment brackets. Is that important? The cusco looks fairly well made and isnt super expensive.

I think I will get the SPC Rear. It has a good price and comes with the toe adjust bolt thing also.

As suggested....look in the market place under the vendors section. Alot of people on here are running SPC camber kits front and back and have purchased them via a site vendor.

Good luck.
