Club 80-90 Forums

Hi all i have a slight problem i hope you can help me with.....i lowered my van a couple of years ago by 50mm and at the time i had 17" merc wheels, the van sat really nice with a bit of rear camber which (i think) looked pretty smart, recentely i have fitted some porsche 17" wheels and the nearside rear wheel sits as it allways did but the offside rear wheel appears to be almost upright, i.e. the top of the wheel sticks out from the arch by about 25mm where as the top of the near side wheel is level with the arch, any ideas how i can adjust the offside wheel back in of have i disturbed something when i jacked it up, or have i just not noticed the difference before until i fitted 9" wide wheels????? Any help would be great, thanx in advance.

ttt anyone???

Someone will be along shortly I'm sure. If no one on the forum at the time has an answer, they won't reply but someone will know I'm sure. I do have a vague recollection that Brickwerks did some levelling shims but not sure if they apply in this instance.

Rear camber is adjustable, but only by so much, lowering usually takes you out of the range of adjustment.
Narrow wheels and tyres don't usually cause a problem but I know from experience how quickly a set of 255's can get munched by bad wheel alignment.
With that in mind we made these.

Now, we won't say that they will definatley correct your problem but they will get you back into the adjustment range.
Fitting these also increases the track at the rear, and sharpened up my steering.
Rear wheel tracking is also affected by lowering but it's still usually in the adjustable range.

Many thanks Simon. I'd hoped you'd be along!

Ok that's all usefull stuff, cheers, do we know how do adjust rear camber, be it all a bit limited? many thanks.
