You know i was thinking the other day that making camber plates cant be that difficult, the only part that i couln't make are the ball bearings, but the Question of the day is whether this bearing is needed.
Let me explain myself, look at a camber plate kit, what do you see? two plates, with screws. One set goes to the strut mount, the other secures one plate to the other in a way that you can adjust the camber. This bottom plate is where the shock mounts/bolts/secures to. does it need to have a bearing there? does the shock spin while the car is on the ground/compressed/tightened to the strut mount!?!! my head says no.
With the right tools (which i have, even a router if i wanted to get fancy) I calculate that machinning these plates can be very cheap and mounting can be VERY simple, the screws that bolt to the strut mount can be welded from below or as simple as a good grade bolt with a lock washer and a nut!!! same goes for the other plate and if i want to get fancy i can use a tap kit and thread it
My problem is the bearing i see EVERYTHING has a bearing but i see no purpose to it so can someone please enlighten me before i go solidworks my plates...and possibly yours too
