Rear camber

[valbowski1980]

Do you think that worn rear trailing arm bushings could account for out of spec rear camber?

Mine is off and I am wondering if shims will just mask the real problem of worn bushings?

Inspect them get a crowbar or something under there and watch for any movement, you porolly need a friend to do that while you watch it


I saw a recent psot wehre someone's camber was off they replced the bushes and it was closer to spec

Thanks for the reply... So they do have something to do with the actual camber.

Looking at the way the rear suspension works I can't see how the trailing arm (longitudinal link) bushings could affect camber. The lateral link bushings however certainly could.

Looks like I need to wait for the warmer months and do a bit of checking. I want to change all the bushings to polyurethane in the near future anyway. The car has crossed the 141K so some suspension work should tighten it up.
