Default Adj camber

Does the 965 have a camber adj. on the rear? If so would someone know where you could see a breakdown showing it?

Pick up a copy of the Bentley manual Without Guesswork. It shows which bolts adjust camber and toe at the rear and gives torque values.

Well, the 964 book is a half-a$$ed effort from Bentley when compared to the book they did for the 911SC, but I guess it is better than guessing.
As for the other book Enthusiasts Companion, I like it for the pretty pictures....

Metal Guru, I bought the enthusiasts compion like you said (70.00 bucks worth), and it had nothing about the adjustment prosedure for rear camber except for tables ,which so does the owners manuel.. I should have bought the (without guesswork) one (I GUESS)

Al, please re-read my note. It recommends Without Guesswork. The Enthusiasts Companion is a coffee table book. Fifty percent of what's written in it about Turbos is incorrect.
The camber adjustment is the eccentric/nut farthest forward (toward the tire) on the flexible link. The eccentric/allen bolt next to it is for toe. There are two more nuts/bolts that mount the link to the bushing.
Take a paint stick and match mark the toe and camber eccentrics. Next, loosen every nut to make the move. Turn the camber eccentric and note which way the arm moves. Same with the toe eccentric. If you aren't far off just move everything the width of the paint line and torque it all down. Put the wheels back on the car, lower it, roll it around and re-check it.
Plan on taking the whole day to get it right.
