New P-Zeros on rear...DIY camber adjustment?

[RickM]

It seems that after new rear tires and alignment on my '85 I'm getting a bit of rub at the wheel well lips. I asked the shop for a little more + camber on the rears. I got too much plus the tires seem to have a more pronounced shoulder.

What would it take to add some negative camber? Is this a relatively easy DIY project?

Any DIY advice appreciated.

PS:
I don't want to roll or grind the lips....if I don't have to.

Rick,

Adjusting the rear camber is not too tough. BTW, you'll be adjusting the rear toe when doing the camber. Both eccentric bolts must be loosened when adjusting. You'll need a 12mm allen key to use on the eccentric bolts. Also need to loosen the bolts that hold the spring plate to the banana arm.

Set up some strings and do it the Ray Scruggs way. Best to read these pages:









You can find the rest of the pages from Scruggs' alignment book by doing a search for "Scruggs alignment" RoninLB was kind enough to scan the book and Steve sized up the pictures to fit on the board.

Thanks a million, Kevin!
