I have an 88 rx7 with 225 45 17 in the rear... i wore the tires down in a matter of a couple weeks on just the inner edge of the tire.... i have ALOT of neg camber, i have read on here about the adjustable camber bar but i was wondering if this is what i need, does camber on a car change that much because of bigger wheels? JUST TRYING TO KEEP MY BABY RUNNING!!!!!!

 

ya i'm in the same boat my inner tires are worn smooth on my yokohama paradas. the outsides are only about half gone. im making my own rear camber adjusters as we speak

 

mazdatrix has a rear camber adjuster. Even on stock wheels my camber was off a little bit before I put that in. Old suspension has camber problems man.

 

I dropped my car 1.5 inches needed the camber adjustor for the rear only. Im currently running 225-45-17's also. I bought this one from Mazdatrix:

have not had any camber issues since..........

 

Damn, what tires are you running, R-compounds? I had a massive rear camber problem (I had a adjustable camber link but it wasn't connected The bolt connecting it to the rear subframe was missing. Anyway, I have BFG G-force KDW's with 10k on them and still have about half tread on the insides.
As for fixing it, the adjustable camber links are the most economical way of correcting the problem. Racing Beat sells one, ground control sells one, and I think mazdatrix sells one. I forgot which was the cheapest. Mazdatrix also sells adjustable thingys for each side, but they are more expensive (since you have to get 2)

 

BTW, camber doesn't chage because of tire sizes, it changes because of the ride hieght. Your car prob was either lowered or has sagging springs.

 

The best rear camber link I've seen so far is the one from Flatout Motorsports. It's under $100 and is on car adjustable (the other cheap ones have to be unbolted to adjust them. I just bought one and it was shipped and arrived reasonably quickly. They've got good service, and it's a nice piece.

Stop slamming the suspension down so low.
The FC doesn't like to do that.

yea i havent changed the suspension at all on my car stock ride height so isnt the adjustable camber rods really just for cars that have been lowered?, i just got it back from the shop and they fixed the balljoints, and couldnt find anything wrong with my rear, they told me id just need to get an alignment to fix me rear camber problems, i talked to a machnic from rx7world.net and he said that the adjustable camber bars dont work very well, im stuck....... im going to try to have it aligned and see what they say..... my tires are literally like this / \

 

The camber adjusting rod doesn't know what prings you've got, so why would it matter? It doesn't. If you have lowering springs or just saggy springs you get the same effect, lots of camber. The rod should help, but no, it's not the greatest solution, but it's the easiest, the cheapest and the most used.

 

You really need to stop listening to those idiots.

If they didn't work, then there wouldn't be so many reputable companies selling them. Well, there wouldn't be so many people shelling out money to buy them at least.

 

I have an adjustable rear camber bar on every 2nd gen I own (don't ask how many that is). I'm a big believer in them, expecially since they are so simple to install and adjust.

However, to be fair, mazdatrix also sells a kit that will allow you to adjust the camber on each wheel independent from each other. With the bar, you adjust the camber an equal amount to each wheel. So if one wheel is, say, more negative than the other, it will remain more negative than the other at any setting. Usually not enough to make a difference, but might be what rx7world was refering to.

 

works for me, I have NO camber with a 1.5" drop

 

i have had a set of stock springs on my t2 that were so old/worn out that they sagged almost as much as my ground controls.

 

so say i went and got an adjustable camber bar, how would i go about puting it on? could i put it on myself?(i do maintence work so i am pretty mechanical i just dont want to get into sometthing that is over my head) what part does it replace?

 

One bolt/nut at the top, one bolt nut at the bottom. Car should be jacked up when doing the change out. You REALLY should take a few minutes to read the free online fsm.
