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? |

Changed the trailing arm. Took the old one out and found some deformation on the underside that I hadn't noticed before. Put in a spare (thank god for a parts car) and checked again.
Edit edit In my hast last night I forgot to roll the car back and forth and still had .400"+ camber. (better than the .722"+ I had before) This AM I rolled it and it brought the camber down to about .100+. I put 2 washers in the front hole of the shim plate, thus bringing the mounting point up by almost the same amount. Tightened everything, rolled the car back and forth and I am now at .125"- camber, where it should be. woo hoo. Now time to square things up and redo the toe ins. |
