Rear Camber

Post by richieadkins »

Hi all have been reading through loads and loads of posts today. I am struggling to find a defintive answer. So, is it possible to adjust the camber on the rear (1982 2wd if that makes a difference) or not? I have just lowered the van by 45mm and the rear appears to need the camber adjusting as well as the fronts. If it is poss could someone give me a quick run down on how to do it.

Thanks in advance Richie

The rear trailing arm rubber bushes have bolts running through them which when slackeded off can provide adjustment. The outer bolt bracket has a vertical slot (for camber adjustment) and the inner bolt bracket has a horizontal slot (for toe-in) adjustment. You will need the outer adjustment.
I would only adjust these though if you are noticing uneven tyre wear.
