2016~2023: CX-9 Adjustable rear camber arms?

[sm1ke]

So the 2nd gen CX-9's rear camber cannot be adjusted. Because I have lowered my car a bit, I now have a bit of negative camber in the rear. Does anyone know if there are any aftermarket solutions available?

I have seen these ones by Swave, but as far as I know, they don't sell them online, and I haven't been able to get a response when I submit a form on their Contact Us page.

According to one guy I talked to, the Swave ones don't even fit well, they required some notching in the subframe to fit properly.

Bumping this up.

I know nothing about them, but what about camber bolt kits?

As far as I can tell, camber bolt kits are only available for the front. Nothing for the rear.

Look at the rear suspension knuckle. Is there a bolt that runs longitudinally that, if removed, would let the hub camber change? If so, there might be a crank bolt listed for some other car, likely the front end, that may fit and do the job. It'll take some detective work. And, there may be no such bolt in the knuckle. If the bolt is present you'd need to measure the bolt length and diameter.

I'll take a look next time I get under the car for the rear diff fluid drain and fill

I noticed that too when I was driving behind my wife. She usually drives the 9. I noticed that the rears were cambered in. It would be fine if I was able to camber in the fronts to match but for a family vehicle and for tire life sake, I’d like a rear camber arm adjustment as well. Contacted Corksport but they said they don’t see themselves making it. Which sucks because they made the springs but no extra modification support? I know there has to be interest though so if anyone else wants to see that kind of product, you’d need to send an idea submission. After putting in on an alignment machine, looks like the rears are at 2 degrees negative. Fronts are spot on.

I have the same complaint...their CX-5 lowering springs are great but they seem to be relying on someone else to come up with the rest of the supporting mods: proper-length sway bar links, adjustable rear control arms, camber bolts, etc. I think they are underestimating the power of providing complete packages. People would click Buy so fast instead of spending weeks on research.

I do get the impression they are pretty lean with very few employees, which could explain a lot of things.

I guess the only option at the moment is Swave, which is based out of Taiwan and requires some modifications to the car to work properly. They've been unresponsive to my emails, but I haven't tried calling them yet. I did take a look under the car but it appears that adjustable camber arms are the only option. Guess I'm stuck with the camber for now, unless I have a shop fabricate some custom parts.
