    DIY Adjustable Control Arms

    So I think I finally figured out how we can finally do our own cheap camber adjustments without buying a camber kit.

    What do you guys think? I'm going to do that tonight!

    OMG I just did that adjustable control arms. it works perfectly fine until I hit a bump. I heard some scrapping noise from the right tire. I think the right front tire camber is kinda off, is there anything I did wrong???!!!11
