AT LAST “FULL” — Front and Rear Wheel Alignment — AGAIN MEANS WHAT IT SAYS
FRONT & REAR ADJUSTABLE BUSHINGS, STRUT TOPS & ARMS
WORN EXPENSIVE OEM BUSHES ARE REPLACED AT SAME TIME WITH “precisely” adjustable Camber
& Caster (Single Wrench) kits - they also being the highest wearing bushes. Advantage with most KMAC unique patented design bushings over OEM is that they are also 2 axis / mono ball self aligning without the
use of air voids. Allowing improved braking and steering response.

OFTEN QUOTED “FULL FRONT AND REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT” is actually only “Toe” - “directional” adjustment!
(even the most exotic models AMG / Black Series or BMW ‘M’, Porsche ‘991’).
It’s all to do with cost cutting & the ever increasing speed of assembly lines.
No more ongoing trips to dealers or alignment shops or consistently changing tire brands -
in the mistaken belief that this somehow could alter the premature edge tire wear !
- Essential to adjust Tire contact angles resolving costly, premature edge load / wear which can also cause ruptured side walls and rim damage.
- Correctly resolves steering pull, increases steering response, with better turn in and high speed directional control, along with reduced dive / lift under brake and acceleration.

AWESOME! They have completely transformed the turn-in, braking stability drivability and general handling integrity of the car! I believe the front suspension works better now than it did when new, because all the rubberized „squish‟ has been eradicated.
I installed the KMAC bushings several years ago when the car hit 8,000 miles, the KMAC‟s have been trouble free ever sine and my alignment guys nailed the settings perfectly to a point I can‟t get better tire wear, despite the Eibach springs. I also have ZERO tire rub and I have yet to experience premature tire wear.
I have been running KMAC rear Camber bushings for years and they are great. No problems at all and an easy to install to do yourself if so inclined. Rear come with adjustable toe bushings you can install if you run out of toe adjustment. I highly recommend KMAC bushings. I did these bushings years ago and love them… can‟t go wrong. I was stripping front tires outside edge on track so here‟s my fix! Camber plates from KMAC more positive drive, better turn in and definitely improve responsiveness in the handling. Looking forward to the next outing!

PRODUCT BACKGROUND RE KMAC BUSHINGS
56 Years Market Leadership - Through Innovation - Not Imitation
KMAC BUSHINGS SIMPLY REPLACE and overcome the premature failure of
existing OEM bushings, which can cause suspension sag, rattles, squeaks, and resultant loss of brake, traction and steering response. All kits are supplied with bush extraction/insertion tools.
OEM rubber bushes use air voids for “two-axis” movement (essential as majority today's vehicles have multi link arms with different angle mount points) but the air voids can also allow shudder, wheel hop and loss of traction under braking and acceleration .
While the majority of aftermarket brands eliminate these air voids, but in so doing they restrict the two-axis movement which can increase binding, locking up as arms travel through there required arcs. This causing even more severe wheel hop, loss of traction!
KMAC bushes where needed therefore feature a unique two-axis mono ball design. Allowing power to the ground / maximum traction / braking. The KMAC designs also significantly extend wear life having more then twice the load bearing area of OEM bushes. With over 50 years of proven bush design technol-ogy means they are noiseless, long term, maintenance free.
Only Toe adjustment (and tire rotation) ex-factory – but with KMAC bushes, the front suspension becomes full and precise Camber and Caster adjustable and the rear Camber - also for the 1st. time (as well as providing additional rear Toe adjustment).
Result - KMAC bushes reduce costly edge-of-tire wear, improve traction and high-speed directional control. Reduce dive / lift under brake / acceleration and allow “ongoing” adjustment capability to resolve steering pull or curb-knock damage. Essential wide-profile tires, altering height or for gaining extra negative Camber (and track width) with less understeer on race days!
WITH ADJUSTMENT BEING JUST A “SINGLE WRENCH” This KMAC patented invention has revolutionised the industry . . .
Where other brands require the labour intensive shimming of control arms or removal of actual bushings each time, then to reinsert at a different setting - now with KMAC it is done on car, direct on alignment rack (accurately under load). Simply by rotating the bush bolt head to the precise setting required.
