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? |

Car was very well braced using turnbuckles to constantly check and adjust cross sectional twist and windshield and door gaps. When it wasn't being worked on it was set down on the factory assembly lines mounts on my bench.
No new rear bushings. Old ones appeared to have no play in them. I can see now if the inner rear bushing was bad it could add some + camber to the wheel. 3/4" seems like a lot though. Maybe through a combination of many things and being a northern car a PO might have done a power u-turn in the snow and had the rear wheel slam a curb????? I think I'll check the trailing arm first. |
