How do you set back the camber on the rear suspension? My near side wheel is touching on the inner body. I refurbished the rear suspension with all new parts. Cheers

It's preset with the way the railing arms are machined, as far as i'm aware you can't just adjust it.

Could it be a bent stub axle?

Will heating it up with an oxy torch & easing it back to shape be any good?

Thinking about it once it's bent it's knackered. I've got to do mine at some point. Luckily I can press them out at work on a nice big fly press.

Pressing out the spindle won't do you any good if it's the arm thats bent Wink

How can you tell which one is the culprit?

I suppose you could get the car on level ground then use an inclinometer on the rear brake flange, I think the standard rear beam has one degree of negative camber. If thats right then the only thing that can be bent is the spindle.
