Camber Brace Kit

Tools Needed

5/8 socket, 11/16 socket
15/16 wrench, 11/16 wrench

Remove nuts and washers from the frame mount bolts for the upper control arms. You want the brackets to sit flush with control arm shafts.

Install the brackets (use provided flat washers) and fasten your factory hardware to 50 ft/lbs using the 11/16 socket or wrench.

Install inserts into the rod ends on one side only to start. These are a slip fit and fall out easily.

Insert the rod end into the bracket and slide your bolt down to retain the rod end.

Install inserts for the other side and install into the bracket. Fasten your hardware.

Tighten hardware until snug. No more than 50 ft/lbs is needed.

Tighten the adjustment bar by hand until snug. DO NOT over tighten or it will wear out the rod ends. DO NOT use the camber brace to spread the upper control arm brackets back to factory spec.

Tighten the jam nut snug with the 15/16 wrench. The adjustment bar does not have slots for a wrench as it only needs to be held on by hand.

You may only feel a slight difference in handling or ride quality after installing our camber brace. This is normal as the chassis is just reacting better to the road so it just feels like a sports car should. BUT, if you ever remove your camber brace, it’s now a very noticeable decrease in handling and ride quality.
