Rear camber correction
This is just an update on the correction in my 86.5 rear camber which had become incorrectably negative.
I purchased the main camber bushings for both sides plus a single pair of rear upper a-arm bushings from Roger. Yes, a single pair of upper a-arm bushings, because that may be all that is available in the world. I intended to replace the a-arm bushings nearest each hub, as they were the most weathered.
To no great surprise, when my mostly east-coast a-arm bushings were pressed out, it was evident that the bushing holes in the a-arms had corroded where the arms meet the bushings. The aluminum of these arms were recycled and the rear a-arm bushings sent back to Roger (anyone need a pair?)
Mark Anderson sent out a pair of used west coast a-arms that looked better than my old ones. So, off to alignment I go with a new camber bushings and 2 used rear upper a-arms. The rear camber eccentric bolt ended up after alignment being set almost exactly in the middle of its range. So, thus far mission accomplished. We'll see how the tires wear....
