Hey everyone... just wanted to know if any of you have tried these rear camber adjusters and how well they've held up. I bought a powered by Max camber bar and haven't installed it yet cause the camber is still going to be off. I have -2.9 degrees on my rear left and -1.5 on my rear right.

Here's the link to the item:
MOOG MOOG-K8358 Rear Camber Adjustment Kit Made by MOOG

I know that the PBM bar basically moves the subframe to compensate camber on both ends so I'd like to have individual adjustment as well. Thanks in advance.

 

According to the catalog K8358 fits the following:
FORD ESCORT (1981 - 1996)
FORD EXP (1982 - 1988)
FORD TEMPO (1984 - 1994)
MERCURY LN7 (1982 - 1983)
MERCURY LYNX (1981 - 1987)
MERCURY TOPAZ (1984 - 1994)

How do those work anyway?

 

Wonder why they would list it under mazda though on that one website... =/ I really need to get some individual adjusters but for $250, it's just absurd price wise.

 

Any recommendations? This is a street car, not a track car. So I don't need super high grade stuff that'll cost an arm and a leg.

 

Get your suspension fixed and don't worry about the camber plates. Sell your PBM camber bar. You don't need any of that stuff for the street, especially if you don't want to spend an arm and a leg.

 

My suspension is fine. All the bushings are good, nothing is bent. Just that from the car being lowered, it developed some camber in the rear. After a lot of looking around, I finally found some adjustable rear camber links. They weren't too cheap but it should do the job for now without my PBM camber arm which I'll put on eventually. Got the ones from AWR racing store. Hopefully it does the trick.

 

A street car should have no more than 1" drop from stock. If your camber is that far out of spec then something is wrong.

 

a little less camber than stock is actually good. you don't NEED a rear camber bar, but used sparingly its ok on a street car

 

What could possibly be wrong? Nothing is bent or extremely worn. I'll find out exactly what it is once I get my individual adjusters mounted. I'll save the bar for later.

 

But his car is set up perfectly for circle track racing!

^ Do this. The frame could be bent, the suspension may not be tightened properly, or something could be bent or worn. You can mount the bar upon reassembly if you intend to keep it. I don't think the AWR links can get quite to stock specs, so you will probably need the bar if you want less camber.

 

something is bent if your camber is that far off from side to side...my car is lowered a decent amount with stock end links and the 2 sides of my car are within 0.2*

bottom line though, that camber kit won't work.
