How do I adjust my rear camber

[Drift_86]

Can some one help me out I'm trying to get my wheel as straight as possible, I took my car to get alinement i had just installed new spc suspension. they said they try adjusting my ruca and I was hitting the fender? I'm really confuse because my old kit (power by max) i never had this problem and when I had just install my spc suspension I adjusting them the same as my old. Now I'm getting negative camber and my wheel not even close to being in the middle it's hitting the rear bumper? Do I need to adjust the traction and toe, do I have my ruca install backward (but I really don't think I did) or do I just take it back for they can do the alinement right?

your adjusting the traction rods, set em back to the middle and mess with the rucas.

So couldn't I just adjust it from under my car and couldn't the shop do it with out taking it apart?

Make sure the rear tires are equal caster, more towards the center of the wheel well. I had this issue when i put my adj arms and coils on; the passenger rear tire caster was further back than the driver and rubbed the fender like a mofo.
And with the new SPC parts are you trying to go lower? because that also could be the reason your tires are hitting.

yes to the first if you have a way to keep the suspension under load.

and yes to the second.

Dude, If ur paying for alignment, GO out there with them and make them adj all the Shit to ur specs. I just did that at Network alignment which is a national chain. You should be able to tell them how u want the suspension dialed in.

PS: if you didnt get a warranty with ur first alignment. Go to sears or network alignment They offer free alignments within 6mos of the original.

Oh I'm not worry about that I got life time warranty at Firestone, but I don't think they know how to adjust it right that's why they just left it like that but I am gonna take it it back I don't feel like messing with it they should it it right?
Unless I have take it apart instal it right they won't do that....

Wait, I'm fucking confused...how did you manage to move the caster that far back?!?! Since not a whole lot of people get traction arms, how the fuck did stock traction arms get your caster that far back!?!? It almost seems like your fucking lower control arm is bent.

I got all spc traction, toe and ruca. I'm confuse too man I don't know what they did at that place

what the shit??? looks like the setting on the traction arms is WAY the fuck off.

wanna do it the easy way?

remove spc traction arm
place it next to oem stock traction arm
adjust spc traction arm to match length of stock traction arm
reinstall.

90-95% of people don't have a sophisticated enough understanding of how and why to adjust the traction arms on our cars. personally i don't even fuck with em.

not saying "everyone", but for the majority of us its unnecessary.

Set your trac arm length the same as the stock ones. You seem to be confusing the trac arms with the ruca's.

Ok ok, I don't have my stock traction any more dose any one know whats the length?

[codyace]

8.25" is stock rear traction arm.

Set them to that, and you'll be happy. It's the best compromise for the entire bumpsteer of the rear.

Shit, you dont even need an adjustable traction arm considering how high you are.
