Full details

Its key benefit is the ability to precisely adjust camber and toe angles, offering a +0.5 deg camber reduction and 2.5mm of toe-in reduction per side.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the KCA383 kit?

The KCA383 kit is designed to adjust and correct the rear camber and toe angles on compatible vehicles, aiming to improve tire wear and handling.

How much camber and toe adjustment does this kit provide?

The kit provides approximately +0.5 degrees of camber reduction and 2.5mm of toe-in reduction per side from the base settings.

Can I install this kit myself?

While installation is possible, it requires specialized tools and knowledge of suspension systems. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended for accurate results.

Will the final alignment be exact?

How do I know if I need this kit?

This kit is typically needed if you are experiencing uneven tire wear on the rear tires, or if your vehicle's alignment specifications are outside the desired range after suspension modifications or due to normal wear.

Is this kit compatible with all vehicles?

No, this kit is designed for specific vehicle models. Always check Whiteline's compatibility guide or consult a professional to confirm fitment for your vehicle.

Troubleshooting

Alignment not within desired range after installation.

Verify installation of shims is correct and all hardware is tightened to specification. Re-check for rear axle flex and consult a professional alignment technician. Ensure no other suspension components are worn or damaged.

Uneven tire wear persists.

Confirm that the shims have been installed on the correct side and orientation. Double-check all other suspension and steering components for wear or damage. A second professional alignment check may be necessary.

Noisy suspension after installation.

Ensure all components were reassembled correctly and tightened properly. Check for any interference between new components and existing suspension parts. If noise persists, professional inspection is recommended.
