rb rear camber adjuster

Hey guys, I bought the RB rear camber adjuster. I was reading the website and it says "dimpling of the floorpan" allows more camber adjustment. Is there a clearance issue or soemthing? Are all the rear camber adjustment rods like this?

I believe the issue is that some part of the front of the diff will run into the floor pan, so then every one will be the same.

It also might be the top of the diagonal rods( forgot what Mazda calls them) that go from either side of the diff to the control arm by the wheels. Thats what hit on mine when I raised my subframe with different bushings.

its un-necessary...i have my car slammed to the ground and the rb bar adjusted my camber just fine...if you are running some crazy offeset wheels you might need to dent the floor pan.

Well people running bias ply slicks, like in EP need to get about zero camber, and they run very low, so they'd probably need to do the floor denting.

My whoel rear end is out right now, and it seems like the best time to create the clearance needed. Ive got a pic of the general area but Im not too sure. Is it the front middle or back of the diff that has hitting issues? I was looking at it and it seemed like the middle top or it. Its hard for me to tell since everything is out


Anyone have pics of their's? Is it pretty easy to get to later on?

IIRC the area I had to knock up was right behind and toward the middle from those drain plugs. Kind of half way to the seat belt reinforcement and back a couple inches.
If you look where the lateral links attach to the subframe you will get the idea of where they have to have room.
