Rear Camber Adjustment using Subframe Link
Rear Camber Adjustment using Subframe Link
So, I got the adjustable length rear subframe link, and wanted to confirm that to increase the rear camber (so go from -2.5ish to say -1ish, aka decrease the negative camber), I will need to shorten the link, pulling the back of the subframe upwards.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I've never used one, but based on the suspension geometry involved, that seems to be correct. That should lift the inner mount of the semi trailing arm upwards, thus tilting it more to the outside of the car and decreasing negative camber.

shortening the bar removes negative camber. it also puts the diff closer to the floor, and does odd things to the U joint angle, so if you go really really short, its not great.
I went pretty semi low with my pbm coils and got karack's modified stock sub link (threaded part in middle for adjustments). I was trying to get to -.5 camber with mine but now my diff hits the chassis on hard shifts and I have verified my front diff mount is intact. depending how short you make your sub link, you may need to do the $10 pinion snubber mod to stop the clunk. you just drill one hole (need to remove bins/rear seat to access) to bolt it to, some people remove exhaust to make it easier. You can loosen the 2 front rear subframe mounting bolts to wedge the pinion snubber in there most of the time. its just a chunk of rubber that goes between the top of diff and chassis, reduces wheel hop too and will save your front diff mounts from breaking. do this with the sublink unbolted.
Yea, I'm planning on installing the snubber, and already have the whole rear subframe dropped (replacing front diff mount & swapping a torsen into the S4 T2 rear end)
I thought that was the correct direction based on the geometry (like JerryLH3 said), but wanted to confirm. I prob won't go too short, but wanted to get rid of some of the excessive rear camber on the 'vert
