rear wheel camber help

does anybody know how to adjust rear wheel camber on a s4? or is it even adjustable without a camber kit?
if not does anyone have one of those adjustable links like racingbeat sells? i would like to make my own so i need to know how they are made and more importsntly where they go. they say that they adjust both wheels with one link so they cant just replace the stock one right?

anyway any help is appreciated!

wearing out tires sucks.

thx
Pat

You cannot adjust rear camber w/o an adjustable link if you car is lowered.

Get it from: http://www.k2rd.com/

you can't adjust it weither it's lowered or not...

it replaces the center link between the diff and subrame. and changes both wheels at once.

Sure it's camber, not toe. Toe will wear out tires faster than camber.

This link......http://www.mazdatrix.com/h6_86-92.htm bottom of the page, almost. You can go with the one piece or the two piece. Bring your credit card. New two piece is better.

And double yes to the remark about the toe. You real sure its not the toe. Toe's adjustable. See the manual. But then again, if you can readily see the camber by standing behing the car, and see its way off, think a little about worn out spring, shocks etc. Bad shocks can do springs in, given some time. Also check the lateral links for play. Bad lateral links result in new tires and strange handling, especially in the wet. Ton of different things.
