Anybody use this on a 2010+ Altima? My coworker may be installing this on his 2005 and if it works well for him I may do the same to my car, I just want to know if anyone has an experience with it first.

Let me know how it works or if it will work, im to low that i cant bring camber to spec.

The camber arms work well for the 3rd generation but by themselves may not offer enough adjustment. The issue is you can't adjust camber without also adjusting toe. There is a link to the write up for my car in my sig.

It does look like the 4th generation is using thrust arms and camber arms, but the issue is going to be with the length of the arms. I know there are camber bolts available and they will work as long as they are used to replace the bolts for the rear spring seat/control arm (circled in pic).

This is just one place where you can get them. They should be available from a number of different sources.

Superbad please post if you do the arms in addition to the bolts.

Looks like my co-worker is ready to order arms for his Alti, not sure if he is also doing the bolts, I'll update when I find out.

Im going to try to do some research on them to see if they will benefit in any way
But if i do get them ill let you know

**superbad** · 01-05-2012

Just ordered the kit. We will see how it goes and if it was worth it.

Altered · 01-05-2012

Got the ichiba kit and then going to get the eibach camber bolts

Altered · 01-05-2012

Cool, eager to see your results.

My co-worker is getting Eibach arms and bolts for his car since he lowered it on their springs and wants to stick with that brand.

I would have done the same if i was him, i usually like to stick with the same brands if possible
Plus eibach is a little more expensive

I have a 2012 Altima Coupe and bought the Ichiba rear Camber arms.

The length of the oem rear camber arms is about an inch shorter than the ichiba arms when they are at there smallest size. Is that what you were referring to about the length of the arms. I'm not sure if they are going to fit...

**mikejamesbyma** · 03-18-2012

Yes, that's exactly what I was talking about. If the oe arms are shorter the adjustable arms will not work. You want the adjustable arms to be shorter - quite a bit shorter when adjusted all the way, otherwise there is no point in installing them. If you'd like a little less negative camber, there have been a couple guys that have used a press to curve the arm further.
