pass side rear tilts in slitely and the 275 ive put on does not rub but the drivers side is strate and goes. how can i adjust the drivers rear tire?

 

Jeff, mon ami - that would be front camber.

'S4' .... get thee to an alignment rack - camber is the upper rear link & eccentric, which is no joy to play with at home.
Rear caster is quite difficult

 

Why did I think he was talking "fronts" when he mentioned rear twice?

Unfortunately, your mind is the ~second~ thing to go.

 

so is it that hard to do? it has to adjust just slightly, two good waxs with a rubber hammer should do the trick

 

Boy, if this gets out, the entire alignment industry is going to fold.

 

It's not extremely difficult to do, but you need proper equipment to "set" it to the proper camber (angle).

That being said, I'm lost as to why you would adjust an alignment setting just by eye-balling it, unless you are doing it to make due as you drive it to the alignment shop.

 

dont think it a science just need to adjust camber by an 1/8 inch easy done with an level. what are these special tool? its not rocket science, and i dont think they put the car on the rack at the race track, they adjust by Incramental markings.P.S can anyone post some pics of this adjustment point?

 

At the track, everyone waits for high noon to use the rims and sun as suspension calibrators. It's the same principle as using your watch as a compass.

 

Or just leave the eccentrics loose and drive a session -- after your best lap, pull in and tighten everything down

 

The problem is as you adjust camber you adjust toe settings also and this will have a major effect in your car's performance.
If you can feel the difference an 1/8 of an inch in camber makes then you are good enough to have a full crew on staff, so you shouldn't be too concerned with how to make this adjustment.

And no they don't adjust by incremental markings, they use string gauges, scales and camber gauges (at a minimum) to make alignment changes at the track. Most also have a alignment pad that is alumiumum and able to be leveled.

Changing settings is not tough, but changing them right takes a bit more skill...

 

I also like to use the curbing to adjust my suspension. If I overdo it, I just spin and back into the curbing. Sometimes it takes a few sessions to get it right, but it's much cheaper than going to that nasty, old shop, and ensures my rightful spot on the HWFM Racing team.

 

Mark and Chris,
You guys are smart. I should just use my shop manual to start fires.

 

1/8inch is needed to stop tire from rubbing on wheel well. out of all these posts ,still havent receive any useful information or pic , has anyone done this them self and can provide pics? only interested with comments on how to do this. all other neg post or it cant be done post, plse keep them to yourselves THKS

 

I have done this and it is not hard. Look at the suspension links and look at the upper mount for the camber adjustment.

 

Wow.
