Need more rear camber on 944. What bushings are worn?
Hi all,
I just had a specialist shop adjust my rear settings after trying for many hours trying to get more than -1.5* rear camber and they came up with the same problem I did- -1.5* max.
I am trying to figure out what is worn out to make it limited on the adjustment. I didn't ask the shop what was wrong with the suspension to have it limited to that. It is a track only 87 924S with hankook ventus slicks 225/50-16 fronts and 245/45-16 rears.
I am trying to start with -3.5* front and -2.5* rear. 450lb front springs 28mm rear torsion and a 225lb shock helper spring.
If it is not a worn bushing - Do people oblong the rear torsion bar aluminum arm mount? Seems that I could move the bolt centerline 3/8" down or rotate it 3/16" each side up and down to help adjust it.
Thanks
Pete

Yeah, that was my thought - probably not nearly low enough. 5" or even lower at the rockers works great...

The car is lowered... I will get an exact measurement later this week since it is loaded already on my trailer for a DE.
Could the upper spring mount be compressed or bad? What if i were to shim it to rotate it down? Or is this uncharted territory.
Thanks

With the ratchets undone and on the trailer [not exactly level, but close] I have 5.75" in front and 6" in back with only a gallon of gas.
What should it be?

Yeah, definitely 5" or so - but you may want some rake in it...
