New owner - Rear Camber Problem
Hello
I purchased a 1998 Mustang GT 5 speed and i love it. The guy who had it before me put bbk lowing springs in and i replaced the shock 2 weeks ago with kyb shocks. Looking at the rear end shows to much negitive camber and after driving the car 3k the tires only in the rear are starting to show it. I have an alignment rack at work and there is no specification for camber for the rear. Question for lowered car owners.... How do i correct the camber? Anyone accutaly perform the job?
Thanks alot!

RE: New owner - Rear Camber Problem
I have no idea. its a solid axle so it shouldnt haave changed the camber. i would look into other things for the tire wear problem. honestly i dont think you can change anything in the rear. I did my alignment a week or so ago and i dont remember adjusting anything in the rear.

RE: New owner - Rear Camber Problem
Optical illusion, unless your axle is bent. Take your car to an aligment shop and they can make sure the rear is square. If it isn't, you're likely going to have to replace it.
More likely, those tires were rotated from the front, which is out of alignment.
Just throw the car on the alignment rack and see what's what.

Although, you'd DEFINITELY know if your axles were THAT much out of round, where you actually got negative camber wear on the rears..
The car wouldn't move much at all, it's sort of, flop-flop-flop..

RE: New owner - Rear Camber Problem
Thanks guys! I appreciate all the comments! Ill put it on the rack next week. The car drives great. No - flop flop out of the rear. I put newer tires when i got it but they are 235 50 17 since they were free and the original tires where bald just to get me through the winter. Im thinking of changing the springs to eibach and buying new control arms/bushings in the near future. Ill keep you posted.
