I went and did a wheel alignment on the R33 (1993) last weekend.

The guys said I need an adjustable camber kit installed on the front.

This kit contains the following

4 bushes

2 shafts

4 bolts

4 washes ==> Costs $181.00

Has anyone put this type of kit in before.

I dont want to wear out the 18's, so thats why I want the kit, not for racing or modifying or anything.

Who would be the best people to talk to and price wise.

Im guessing your car is lowered? So having the adjustability up front will allow the correct amount of camber to be dialled n.

So you should end up with better front tyre wear, as long as they dont go any more extreme then 1.5deg.

Pirce would seemsa about right, i cnt remember what i paid but it never hurts to ring a competitor.

Yeah, it sounds about right. I got the whiteline kit about 4 months ago for $160+freight through their website. They're pretty easy to install if you want to have a go yourself, takes about 20min per side from wheel off to wheel on. As Roy

said -1.5 Deg is good for street use.

The guys at Fulcrum in Brisbane said..."It's a big **** around mate to put them on."

Fulcrum -Marooka (Brisbane)

Parts $142.52

Install $143.00

Wheel Align $88.00 (Front and Back)

Total: $373.52

But if its easier than what u say, well then I might give it a go.

Yeah, I went to Fulcrum Stafford, their labour costs are ridiculous, good quality gear just insane labour costs. It is that easy, I would say 30min tops per side. They are a bastard to adjust though. Still need to get a wheel alignment afterwards though. Jack car up, remove wheel, remove bolt which connects shock to lower wishbone, undo upper/outer wishbone nut/bolt, slide assemble out (if it hasn't corroded in), all falls apart, slide new camber pin/bushes into place with plenty of provided silicon grease, put it back together. Easy!

Yep, installation of this type of thing is pretty easy, it's the setup that hard.

Id put them in, set them roughly and then drive it down to get aligned.

Also, if the car is lowered then you will definately need the rears done aswell, they'll probably need it more than the fronts

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
