Home alignment
 
The other night I increased the amount of negative camber on my rear wheels using the 911 home alignment guide that Charlie posted in the Gallery. I just did the rear camber section of the procedure and I was able to go from -0.5° to -1°. This helped my right rear tire rubbing some, but I think a bit more is needed. I stopped at -1° because that's all that I felt I could adjust it to by turning that eccentric bolt. Is there a trick to getting more camber adjustment? Thanks!

I don't understand the mechanics of this mod but I'll give it a try.

Thanks Ron!

try removing the lower bolt and see if that allows you more adjustment. then, hopefully, you can see where you have to grind.............Ron

I'll try it this weekend and let you know how I make out. Thanks Ron!

Jim--

Did you do the front too? I just got new tires all around and both the old fronts had extreme wear on the inside, so I'm going to attempt the home alignment on the front this weekend. If you did the front, any tips would be appreciated.

Sorry Dan, all I did was set rear camber so that I could reduce tire rubbing. The procedures don't seem too difficult for all of this alignment stuff. I'd recommend checking it out (find it in the Gallery). Hope it goes well for you.
