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?

during my polybronze bushing upgrade, one of my rear arms, i had to adjust the inner mount (hole) by filing one end longer and welding the other end to rebuild the proper dimension. i think i moved the hole almost 1/4 inch...all that to get 0 toe in.. i settled there. the other side was just fine. it may be possible that the jigiging and welding back in the day was not all that precise. running almost -2 camber on the rear. decent for autocross (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I also have reasonable clearance with the tyres @ ride height. I'am going for max negative camber and not to worried about tyre wear . By the way this is a useful thread and good info here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)  |
