Camber setting adjustable upper balljoints
« on: February 11, 2016, 02:59:02 pm »
Finally getting this 87 250 together with the +2 Metal Tech A Arms.Just curious if anyone has a camber setup for trailriding occasional MX...Is there a negative camber degree or measurement the top of the wheel should be tipped in compared to the bottom or should I just set the camber straight up 0 degrees?

I used our vintage car alignment spindles and gauges to set the toe and can do the same for the camber as well,Any info is appreciated.
Can,t fix stupid.:)

Wow is all I can say to that sliding box.

Rainman, it depends on how you ride your quad.  For recreational and MX, I would go for 3* negative camber.

Check out this guide from Lonestar Racing http://www.lsracing.com/img/Guide_21.pdf

I run mine around 4-5* negative camber using shims on my Zilla for sand.

Good luck.

Thanks Rogue for the great info..............As far as that sliding box I never understood the fascination with that.Those tired likely burn the inside edge of REAL fast.And them low profile tires ain,t cheap.To each their own I guess.

I've got a lot of better things to do with my money.  Some people have more money than smarts I guess.
