I installed a small 6 in my car yesterday and I noticed the car has more positive camber to the rear wheels than before the conversion. Is there an adjustment for camber? Ive yet to put on the axels, might that straighten it out?

Just the axles won't affect the camber. Putting weight on the wheels will.
The camber is changed by adding or removing shims between the outer trailing arm mount and the body. More shims mean more positive camber, less shimming (fewer or thinner shims) mean more negative camber. --DD |

Kev Nope, thats negative camber. Positive is like old vw baja bugs... (top of the tire, leans outward) |
