Well, bought a vert for my wife ~5 months ago, its had a bad camber problem ever since we got it. i havent been able to figure out why, we thought it was the bushings, but after getting under the car, all the bushings look fine, thought it was the springs/shocks, replaced those and still nothing. so i was wondering, i was looking at the bushings on the rear control arms and noticed the oval shaped washer on both ends of the bolt holding it on and its facing in the down position.

so i was wondering if anyone had any ideas, all the links, lateral and subframe, look fine.

so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. thanks

 

what did the alignment shop say?

 

lol, thats my next stop

 

Is the suspension dropped?

 

the guy we bought it from said yes, but i dont see anything indicating its been lowered.

 

Lowered FC's all have too much rear camber. Racing beat, mazdatrix, and probably lots of others have a rear camber link to fix this.

 

Front subframe damage is common on the 'verts that have been curbed, but it sounds like your problem is in the rear.

What did you replace the springs with???

 

i would definatly take it to get an alignment. see what they say. it will probably give you a better idea of the problem.

 

i replaced it with a better set of stock springs/shocks. they dont seem to sag much, if at all. i might install the adjustable camber link i have in it

 

or you could just stop being a bum.......

 

It sounds like the eccentric shaft to adjust toe in the rear.
This should not affect rear camber.
