metal bushings: adjustable?
I'm rebuilding the rear end with elephant bushings and sphericals in the swingarm. It occurs to me that the rear camber adjustment may not work if its based on distorting rubber bushings that are now metal.
Anybody else find that to be the case? I ask because at the front end the caster adjustment, which is supposed to be maxed out was impossible to achieve, and that was with the 968 rear bushing and delrin at the front of Fabcar arms.
Regards,

I never had a problem.
FYI, for the front, I found I could get an extra 1/2 degree of negative camber by jacking the car up and manual twisting the wheel more (e.g. eliminating the natural slop/play in the eccentric adjustment system).
