Default Too much camber not enough axle! Ucf1x content

Hey guise so I just installed Meagan toe and camber arms in my celsior. I got my wheels to fit love the camber but my axle popped out. Does anyone make an axle spacer or has anyone dealt with extending axles?

I searched all over and could not find axle spacers. However, I ran -18* daily and my axles never popped out, and as far as I could tell, they were not able to. My axles leaked oil from the seals but even when I went to -22* just for ****s and giggles they did not pop out. Simple fix for this, get aftermarket rear upper arms.

This happens when you try to get a ton of camber by JUST using the lower arms. There's no "fix" for this other tan to go buy adjustable RUCAs or have extended axles/spacers made. AFAIK there are no spacers in production, though supra mkiv/1SC/2GS axle spacers may work if they are being made somewhere.

When you push the lower arms out like that the axle stays the same length. Hence your issues.


Dicer do not post in this thread, your nonconstructive off-topic post has been deleted. PM me if you have issues with that.

+1 RUCAs are the only way to go. I love mine, made adjusting my fitment so much easier. Also my upper control arms dont ruin the bottom of my coilover anymore! If I remember correctly, the uca starts colliding with the coilover at around -10* and mine started to leak at -14* ish. I would find someone who can get you used jdm parts and scoop up a used set of RUCAS!

I'm not sure but swapping stock arms for stock arms would not benefit you at all. In fact, my stock rucas on my ucf10 seem to have more coilover clearance than my ucf20.
