so the cars got rb springs and agx struts, I had the rear subframe apart over the winter and put it all back together and now have insanely bad neg camber. I have had lowering springs on other FCs and none of them have had the wheels / \ I'm not trying to look like I drive a vw.

Nothing is bent, nothing looked wrong, I put everything back exactly how it was, only real change were the springs. any ideas?

I know you said you checked everything but something sounds like its in wrong or something's bent. Was it like that before you took it all apart. Any pics you could share?

I'll take a few pictures of it, should have the whole assembly out this afternoon. it was not cambered at all before I removed it, so I would imagine I screwed something up.... I just don't know what

maybe you forgot to hook up the center link? (next to the nose of the diff)

Yeah, I would say you either forgot to bolt up the center link or you need to get your car aligned. Toe can effect camber a bit

Mazda12AGS

I agree with this but if its severe you can only align it so much. If something is wrong and it's too far out you will never be able to adjust it till it is flat. Or very little negative camber.

I'm just thinking that since he said his whole rear end was out, Maybe he didn't mark his toe adjustment.

What else did you do to your car? You don't need to drop the rear end for spring install. How were all the bushings? My cars center link bushings were completely gone so it was like a shorter arm, so more camber.

the center link is/was attached. the subframe was dropped to be painted and put in turbo diff. everything looked alright going together last summer. (never really had the car to a running point so I didn't worry about alignment)

I dropped it last night. the drivers side "cam" bolt is frozen ended up having to cut it off. I'm going to replace the center link with one of mazdatrix adjustable ones, and put in dtss eliminators, and the control arm bushings and see how that works out. the toe was kinda off per what the alignment guys had said, camber was waaaaaay off.

If all your bushings were ok, then i could only think it is normal camber from lowering the car.

I'd the subframes is not all the way up and against the chassis, the camber would be crazy also. I'm real curious now how extreme camber you are talking about
