i was able to get within 0.1 degree of camber difference from side to side by using the mazdatrix camber link.

Unless you have solid subframe bushings that render a subframe link useless. I'm fully solid with spherical arm bearings out back.

What if you max out your sublink's camber adjustment to zero and are dumped as ****?

Run both it and individual adjusters?


Just a question.

Seeing how much room i have to work with here before **** starts binding up.

It would be soo much easier with a multilink rear setup but we dont have it that easy.


OP: I hope to hell you only bought 1 of those......

The individual links are sold in pairs and the sublink is sold as a single.

I've heard people report that they still got a subframe link to work with solid bushings, since the subfrane will still be able to flex on its own. I'd think that it'd make it harder to adjust and/or limit travel, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's useless (unless you've tried?).

It was useless for me. I did make an attempt to see if the subframe would move and it did not. But I do run solid subframe bushings and soild front and rear diff mounts.

Why waste the money on a single adjuster if you will need to buy the individual adjusters too?
