He said you can adjust them as is, but as for extra 'shims' or kits he seemed a bit lost... Gettin a wheel alignment anyways...Just what I wanted on my weekend back in Melb, wasting time and money when I could be doing alot of other sh*t!!

The drivers side rear was farked but the other wasnt as bad but is headin the same way? Could it be shocks are gone or anything else? The cars not that low...

Cause if the camber was off both rears would be effected yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xr6greg Member 73 Member For: 16y 8m 8d Posted 31/07/10 03:12 AM Share Posted 31/07/10 03:12 AM There is limited adjustment for camber and toe on the rear of XR's. If too much negative camber can't be adjusted out then you need to fit some off-set inner upper control arm bushes. Good for about 1 degree of adjustment.

Chewed the left rear inside all the way to the steel.Camber kit from Peddars is $445 fitted.Had another alignment done a few weeks ago (without the kit) as I just got a set of Falkens, have done about 2000kmand the wear looks ok at this stage.My wait another 2-3000km and re-measure. If the wear is bad I'll get the rear camber kit installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The off-set upper inner control arm bushes are $75.00 a set (the kit has two bushes, you can't buy a single one if you only want one side of the car done.) and took me about an hour to fit one side (all I needed to fix up the camber problem).PS: I have one brand new upper inner control arm bush gathering dust if anyone wants it - $40 delivered anywhere in Oz.
