88HatchMonster Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hi All, I'm working on repositioning my strut top mounts on my '88 ea-81 hatch w/ 4" lift and 28.5" Swamper TSLs. I started out with a strut top position that equated to stock which gave (I believe) a 3 degree positive camber. While that isn't terrible, I think that it is a little too much for running my swampers on the pavement and I think they're gonna be bald on the outside edge in no time flat. So I'm making the strut top position adjustable so I can set it to anything from -1 degree to +3 degrees. What I'm wondering is what is everyone's opinion on an optimum camber angle for running offroad tires? What is the angle on most trucks with IFS? That might be something to shoot for... Thanks for any insight in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarubrat Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I run about .5 deg negative on mine. However the tire is so wide and flat that you can't see or feel a difference between about 3 deg positive and 3 deg negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSSLGECKO Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 can anyone verifiably say what stock camber is on the subaru's - for EA-81 & -82 ? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88HatchMonster Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 can anyone verifiably say what stock camber is on the subaru's - for EA-81 & -82 ? Just curious. I think it actually says in the owner's manual and that it is 3 degrees positive, but unfortunately I'm away from my lovely sube all week so I can't check until the weekend...

bushbasher Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 thats probably close, cause the positive camber is visible stock. I have my car at somewhere between 0 and 2, and it looks less noticeable but I have yet to do any road or high speed testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
