Need Quick reply: adjusting front camber
I'm about to adjust my front camber. Do I need to turn BOTH adjusters equal amounts on each side, or Can I do just one. If so, which one do i adjust, the forward one or the rearward one.
Just for reference....I had the alignment done previously by David Farmer. I'm just wanting to add some more camber with the bigger tires I just got and am not sure on the correct way. Right now I'm at around -2.2 and I know the caster is equal.

That is actually why i thought to ask the question. I was about to do both, then my mind started wondering that if the forward one was the only one done that maybe it would INCREASE Castor. Of course i have no clue if that would be the case, but more caster would be good if I can accomplish this with just one adjuster.

if you want to maintain castor, you should first check to see if there are any washers behind the upper control arms. If so, remove a single washer from each one to gain some neg camber. If you do the lowers, you need to move both the same amount measure at the centerline of the bolt, NOT the number of "ticks" on the bolt head.
