Rear wheel hight/alignment question
 
Dear experts:
I have the following short question in regard to red wheel alignment/height of 82 Porsche 911 SC. I would appreciate receiving your answers to my questions:

1. How much of change in height can one achieve with the rear wheel height adjustment bolt, without removing the rear wheel spindle off?

2. According to my measurement, I would need a 36 mm thin wrench to move the height adjustment bolt; correct?

3. In order to set the camber, do I need to loosen the height adjustment bolt and ride-height securing bolts (I am pretty sure I should)? Do I need to loosen the toe bolt as well.

4. And to set the toe; is it same as in 3 above?

Thank you for your time.
The car-nut.

1). If you have the OEM adjustable spring plate, it as about 3/4" (less than inch) max. range in adjustment.

2). 36 mm wench.

3). No. But has to loosen the toe-in bolt.

4). Yes. The key is keeping the cam of the other bolt from moving. For example, if you are adjusting the toe-in, the camber would be slightly changed and vice versa.
