PBM coilover problem - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Alright, so I bought brand new pbm Comp coilovers.. backs are fine, but the fronts, I have no clue what happen. So my front right wheel has 0 camber without changing the camber adjustment on the coilover, but the front left has hella camber and its rubbing on the tire a little. When I take my bumper off and look at the coils from the front one is at an angle and one is almost straight up and down. What is causing this? Can I adjust the knuckle somehow? I noticed the knuckles are at different angles also..

Something is possibly bent. FLCA maybe?

That's what I thought, but everything looks unbent. The stock struts I had I never had any alignment problems.. I dmd pbm and they said to jack up my car and do something with the knuckle so Ima check it out after work

PBM coilovers have offset spindle mounts. Make sure both of your spindle mounts are flipped the right way.

They're probably like this right now / /

instead of like this / \

Good thing you said that because I had no idea, I'll check when I get home. I was asking my friend about it and I brought that up and he was like "nah they don't have that" lmfao. Thanks, I'll let you know if that was the problem

I don't think it's the coilover I installed my set with no issues
