rear camber/toe correction
« on: March 22, 2011, 03:45:09 PM »
Just got the tie rods changed and the alignment guy showed me how crooked the rear end was. REALLY bad for the right rear... so how can i get it right?  didn't touch the rear suspension yet. only the subframe bushings were done 3 years ago when i got the car. I think it has -2.5 degree camber and -1.5 on the other side. don't remember toe, but it was some bit too.  Oh and the rear suspension is possibly collapsed, but still works.

My options? (not a millionair either...)

oh and started front wheel/s started to shake pretty hard upon braking, fresh out of winter storage for 5 months... ideas?

If your rear suspension settings are off side to side, you most likely have a bent trailing arm (it's not that uncommon). If your car is lowered, the suspensions settings will naturally change which is not really a problem unless its different side to side.

You can get toe/camber correction eccentrics from AKG or Ireland Engineering. You must weld these in though.
