73 911 Camber adjustment

[cmcfaul]

I searched but still don’t get it. How do you set max rear camber on a stock 73 911 E?

I re-indexed the left rear as it was half an inch too low (lower than the right side). Ride height is now perfect but the alignment is all screwed up on that wheel even though I marked the bolts and tried to put it back together with the same settings.

I just spent $600 for an alignment (had a couple issues fixed) so I am looking for the poor mans alignment for the one wheel.

Sounds simple….Max camber then set the toe (using the string method) Problem is I don’t know how to change the settings.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I *think* you loosen both bolts and jack up the wheel while the car is sitting on jackstands, basically forcing the wheel in the alignment direction you want, then tighten down the bolt and measure.

Do you have the 911SC adjustable spring plates or the stock '73 pieces? Are you re-indexing torsion bars or trying to lower the car?

If you corner balance, the alignment may shift due to the ride height changes.

stock 73 without any hight adjustment except through re-indexing the t- bars which I just did (the pic is not accurate as i don't have the first two bolts.


So you are saying loosen the 4 bolts, force the wheel up with a jack and tignten down everything. Then go after the toe. Do I need to disconnect the sway bar or shock?

Can someone post a pic of the bolt positions with max - camber.

Thanks,

Eccentric part of the camber bolt is positioned straight down, give or take, for full camber.

Disconnect the sway bar if you have adjustable drop links. You will corner-balance/align the car with them disconnected, then re-attache by adjusting the drop link lengths to eliminate pre-load.
