Camber Kit/ Strut question.

[Double_0_Rusty]

So, I am putting new struts on my Talon, and also camber kit all the way around. My question is, should I put the struts on before the camber kit? I haven't ever messed with this before, so thanks in advance for all serious answers.

Put it in at the same time. That way you don't have to take things apart multiple times. Just do it all at once.

It depends. Will the installation of the parts you have lower the car any? If you aren't changing ride height, then you shouldn't need a camber kit. Also, on some cars all a camber kit is is an eccentric bolt that changes the angle of the knuckle. If that's all your camber kit is then I wouldn't install it until getting the car on an alignment rack and determining the need for more or less camber.

thanks guys, to answer the question straightsix, my car is already lowered, and the back tires lay in at the top pretty bad. I have had the car maybe two months with new tires, and they are already wore out. So no, it will not lower the car anymore, I just want to correct the camber issue.

lol you cant lower it anymore and did you get tires yet?

but camber kit on while you put you new struts on, all at the same time, then right after you do get it aligned right after. with camber kits, i know when i put mine on it was way way off, so get it aligned right after you install them or your tires will be bad. so install struts and camber kit and align same day

Is it just the inside corners of your tires wearing out? If thats the case, you need to get on an alignment rack to check the toe-in. thats usually your main problem

^^ On a car with stock ride height that is usually correct. However, extreme camber angles will cause excessive wear on the tires edges also.

Anyway, the short answer to the OP's question is yes, install the camber kit when you do the strut install. Then, align.
