Rear. Measurements are differences across the 18" wheels from plumb.
Passenger side I have .700" + camber. Sticks out at the top. No shims left to remove. Driver side I have .230" - camber with 2 small shims installed. I can put more shims in the DS to bring it to 0 but how do I remove material to get the PS down to 0? The car was rotisserie restored but the suspension points appeared good and were not touched. (Doesn't mean the car was "right" before I bought it) What am I missing here? |

Several things to consider, first is everything back together such as the engine and trans, etc? Second, is there weight in the drivers seat to replicate yours and a full tank of gas, etc? Third, was the car well braced before it was put on the rotisserie and how long was it off the ground? You have to remember that 30+ years of suspension point stresses suddenly dissappeared and the car was turned around and twisted and such so I could guess all the attachment points could be well off. The few that I have seen done here and by a couple of AZ shops always put the car on an alignment bench after all rotisserie work was complete and in all cases the car had to be "moved" and "adjusted" to get things ready for reassembly.
