Installing mono balls in the trailing arms in place of the origonal rubber bushings make it way easier to adjust camber in the rear suspension because instead of compressing old dry rotted rubber bushings to do that the spherical bearing in the monobal pivots allowing the trailing arm to rotate (like your forearm) during camber adjustments with no resistance.
The origonal rubber bushings will have collapsed and cold flowed away from their orgonal shape from the cars weight sitting on them the last 34 years so weather sealed monoballs in place of the old trailing arm bushings is a good upgrade.
They go for $200 from rennline and a little more from elephant racing. Pelican sells both.

Thanks for the advice. My passenger rear camber is around -2.5*... the car is about a half and inch lower than Euro. I was told that was too much negative camber to adjust out/get it into spec. I know for a fact that this car was in an accident where it was hit in the passenger rear, so I am guessing that the PO could not see that the arm was bent (if it indeed is) and re-installed it.
