If getting this type of work done at a dealership, remember the cost is
going to vary greatly from shop to shop. If the shop has a Crossfire guy, a
mechanic that has taken Crossfire classes- then you may actually be able to
cut down on labor cost because he knows what he’s doing. If you get just a
normal Chrysler mechanic- the cost may actually be more because he’s
learning as he’s going. It shouldn’t be too much more labor because all
mechanics know about Camber and Toe, but they are familiarizing themselves
with the vehicle as they work.
I don’t believe the dealership is going to use these performance parts.
Instead you will likely find they will use bolts that have been fitted with
a cam on one side and as you tighten the bolt it pushes the suspension
parts one direction or the other. I believe this takes longer to install
and adjust. More moving parts also mean easier to fall out adjustment again
(in my opinion). Personally I believe the adjustable camber arm is an
easier and faster solution to our camber issues.
Normal tire stores are not going to do this type of work for you. So it’s
up to you, or an independent shop you pay to Mod your car. Then go buy
tires and the alignment.
Hello! I Just got back from a Chrysler dealership with $710 charge for 4
Camber Bolt part and installation. Parts cost $75 and labor cost $636 for
5hrs. I believe I was over charged, in addition to my car being at the
dealership for 9 days. Paisd $280 for rental car. How come you can do the
job in 2hrs and dealership takes 5hrs?
Hey man. I’m another Crossfire fan with the same problem. I need to buy new
rear tires but I need to change my camber arms. Where can I find some?
Please. Thanks.
Hey glencouls, I’ am having the same problem with my rear tires for my
crossfire. What camber rear kit is that and where did you buy it from? I’m
having trouble finding the right ones!
nice!
