Eccentric Bush Kit

With the Eccentric Bush Kit, it is possible to correct for excessive rear axle camber and toe angles. Lowering the car, without adjustment, means the rear axle camber angles can change to extremely negative values (i.e. - 4.5°). Such a camber will almost certainly severely damage the transfer box of a 4x4 variant. A new Opel / Vauxhall / Holden transfer box costs about
Euro 4'772.--. Our totally reconditioned transfer box costs 1'675.-- CHF excl. MwSt
(~Euro 1'115) !

Specification:
When lowering the car, you must always correct the rear axle camber angle values, with the eccentric bush kit, to ensure it meets the Opel / Vauxhall / Holden specifications
  • Vectra / Cavalier: -2° +/-40' and Calibra: -2°17' +/-40'!

Camber values, outside the specification will not only adversely affect the transfer box of 4x4 cars, it will cause uneven tyre wear to ALL lowered cars. In addition, it will also adversely affect the traction capabilities of the rear of the car.

All Vectra / Calibra / Cavalier cars with trailing arms and also for Carlton / Omega A and Senator B.

Advantages:

  • Improved tyre wear for a lowered car
  • improved traction
  • tracks better at higher speeds
  • fully adjustable camber angles, without the need for special tools 
  • the kit is easily assembled
  • simple adjustment (steering geometry)

  • 2 "outer" steel bushes (large dia.) to change the camber
