I chopped the stock outer links as much as I could then welded them back together. then got a battle version middle link. I was at +1 or something dumb. i think I am at 0 now.

Full psm rear, and we were able to get it on the alignment rack. I dialed it back negative a bit though. I am not drifting, but thought I'd share

Mines solid with a pinion snubber for extra grunt. Add in those "pivot bearings" on the subframe and it moves around fairly freely during adjustment. I do see the pivot bearings failing over time when abused on a regular basis, but I drive hard often and noting seems to be amiss back there yet.

You still have the little "clamp deal" that the diff mount bolts sit in? there is a little tab and a metal washer type thing that is supposed to keep it from moving up. They do bust often and yours may be missing.

i just remember seeing a thread somewhere that was saying that adjusting camber from the camber link was really bad for the front diff mount ...

whiteline sells an eccentric bushing for the upper rear spindle mount bushing (P/N KCA379). They don't really fit right out of the package, and need to be massaged to fit properly... but they can take around 0.75 degrees of camber out on each side. Those + the individual camber links gets me to around -0.2 degrees.

Individual camber links like PSM or AWR and the larger single camber link from PSM/AWR/Corksport will get you to 0 camber

Individual Camber links are the way to go. I have some From DCW fab, and they are awesome! I'm running under half a degree, I think .3 if I remember right. And I still have more adjustment. Wish I had a better pic.

Make sure you have access to a belt sander or some time and a good file. Mine came in way too thick and I had to grind em down to fit.

i like these cuz it makes the adjustment at the hub instead of making your pinion angle all wack. I'm putting these same bushings on my other car soon just in the opposite direction

what keeps the bolt hole from getting out of adjustment besides the bolt itself?

If you have the DTSS eliminated then the hub cannot move relative to the trailing arm. Once it's clamped in place it cannot move unless you bend the spindle or break the bolt in the DTSS eliminator (i.e. bigger problems than the bushing slipping).

Looked at my hub and realized this after I posted. It all makes sense. I may get them just to add that little bit of umph.
