Old thread but for clarification there is a difference between 86 & 87 spindles. Because of the offset change the angle the hubs sit on the spindles are different by about 4 degrees. This is logical if you think about it, if you push the center of the wheel out (early to late) the top of the wheel will push in (more negative camber). The angle change at the spindle corrects this.
There isn't enough adjustment on the stock camber eccentrics to correct this but you can workaround it by fitting camber plates.
You can clearly see the angle change in this picture:
Swapping the whole assembly over (struts, hubs, spindles, calipers, lines, rack & arms) will work but I have to ask why? Are you putting the na calipers on the 951?
