FACT – TODAY’S AUTOS EVEN EXOTIC BMW “M” SERIES, MERCEDES BENZ “AMG” – THERE IS NO LONGER CAMBER ADJUSTMENT TO RESOLVE COSTLY PREMATURE EDGE WEAR. OR “ALLOWING TO ADJUST” – TO IMPROVE TRACTION !!
WHY – All to do with “ever increasing speed” of new car assembly lines !
STOPPING TO ADJUST FRONT CAMBER (& Caster) along with REAR CAMBER IS NO LONGER AN OPTION.
INSTEAD NOW ONLY ONE FIXED POSITION AT “SHOWROOM HEIGHT” – No longer can you adjust tire contact angles to SPREAD LOAD MORE EVENLY.
YET ESSENTIAL “TO COMPENSATE” – For high cambered roads with “excess passengers side edge wear”. Or for wheel squat through extra passenger loads. Or lowering ride height / roll center for safer handling. Fitting wide profile tires or now – no longer able to adjust to cater for curb knock damage.
ONUS IS NOW BACK ON OWNERS – TO FUND COSTLY PREMATURE TIRE REPLACEMENT.
NEW CAR INDUSTRY’S BEST KEPT SECRET. Maintaining the secret by often reassuringly stating – WILL CARRY OUT A FULL FRONT & REAR “4” WHEEL ALIGNMENT – and all that is adjusted is TOE – DIRECTIONAL ADJUSTMENT – WITH UNEVEN WEAR ISSUES STILL NOT RESOLVED – and trying to placate by stating is within factory (showroom height) specs !
IN FRUSTRATION – owners turning to another dealer or alignment shop – Or misguidedly thinking MUST BE BRAND OF TIRES and embarking on purchasing various brands !
WHILE TRACK DAYS / COMPETITION being able to finally dial in “extra Negative Camber” – to reduce understeer. In the pursuit of hitting those corner apexes every time – and allowing to go deeper into the corners with increased Traction and Braking response. Rear suspension – allowing to also dial in maximum traction. NOW THE CAPABILITY OF FRONT AND REAR ADJUSTMENT – essential in the endeavour to make front row of the grid lap times !

EXAMPLE – Since the 1970‟s installing adjustable Camber/Caster bushes was extremely labour intensive. Requiring time consuming removal of suspension arms. Using a bench press to press out the OEM bushes then press in a offset bush at a particular clock setting. Example 1 O‟Clock for 1 degree change, 3 O‟Clock for 2 degrees.
THEN RE-ASSEMBLY OF ARMS – CHECKING ON ALIGNMENT RACK AND IF INCORRECT – REPEATING THE LENGTHY PROCEDURE AGAIN !.
K-MAC CHANGED ALL THAT – UNIQUE PATENTED DESIGN ALLOWS – Fitment without need for special tools or arm removal !
K-MAC BUSHES ARE INSERTED IN ANY POSITION (without need for arm removal) – Then with vehicle on alignment rack (Ultimate – Under vehicle load) fast, easily accessible single wrench to precisely adjust !
SAME WITH POPULAR “STRUT” ADJUSTMENT. K-MAC Patented Design has revolutionised how adjustment is made providing the Quickest and Biggest adjustment range. Along with UPPER ARM ADJUSTMENT – Inventing, Patenting the adjustable Ball joint system – now the industry standard.
WITH K-MAC IT‟S ALL ABOUT SETTING NEW INDUSTRY STANDARDS – WITH ONGOING DESIGN / DEVELOPMENT. It‟s what you would expect – result of constant proving / testing products in all out “competition racing” – and then proudly having “IN-HOUSE” MANUFACTURE (not sourcing imports) allowing to quickly bring online these new design breakthroughs !
