rear camber adjustment
jimmy-s3:
Can anyone give me an idiot proof guide to adjusting the rear camber on my car please. Ive just fitted a set of new wheels and the nsr is rubbing. Looking at the car from the back, the osr wheel has more angle on it then the other side.

Don't have a guide, but I would say that adjusting camber, or any geometry settings, is not an eye it up type of job.. You need to have it set up and measured to be sure you don't turn your car into an oversteery mess..
The adjustment on the rear camber comes from the cam bolt on the inner side of the rear bottom arms, rotate them and it will move the bottom arm, in or out from the centre line of the car adding or taking away camber..

Think i'll take it to where i had my bmw done. They charged £30 for it. Do you think they will set the camber up to factory set up or will they do it to how i want it??
