Question Adding neg camber question

Just wondering if adding say 1/2-1' ( degree ) of negative camber in the rear would make me get the car re-aligned again ?
Thanks

I don't know, but if you multiply the left negative camber by the right negative, do you get positve camber?

Sorry, just thought it sounded funny saying "adding negative".

Anyway, the rear arms are adjusted in such a way, that when you crank in more negative camber, the wheels toe-out at the same time. So after adjusting in the extra negative, you'll need to turn the toe eccentric to slide the arms forward in relation to the spring plate to get the toe back to where it should be.

When you loosen the bolts and replace the camber shims, the Toe-in will have to be reset. So yes the rear will have to be realigned.

Hummm - my answer was for a 914 - in either case Yes.

Yeah, he doesn't say what car, but I was assuming it was his '91 964 Turbo.

Yes. So adjust the camber, and reset the toe too. Good Luck.
