AMS Front Camber Adjustable Arms

I understand now, sorry I wasn't grasping how one would affect the other. So if you want more caster you would loosen the front sleeve and thread out the front

So if you want more caster you would loosen the front sleeve and thread out the front heim joint which would move both heim joints in unison towards the back.

Basically, although I'd bet anything that changing caster will by default change your camber with these arms.

I agree. In my scenario above the positive caster would also add positive camber but if you have enough thread left on the rear heim joint before the sleeve bottomed into it, you could then get back your negative camber.

If design right. You should have more then enough adjustment in it. It don't take much adjustment anyways. You be surprised at what a 1/16" of movement will do.

If you wanted more positive caster (+), and to keep camber the same. You would move the front sleeve out, and move the rear sleeve in.

Now if you wanted less caster (-), and to keep the camber the same. you would move the front sleeve in, and the rear sleeve out.

If you wanted more caster (+), and more camber (-). You might only have to move the rear sleeve in, and leave the front sleeve alone.

Clear as mud now.
