rear wheel negative camber

well i've had this fc for maybe a month now and i can't help but to notice that the rear wheels have negative camber. and the driver side seems to have more negative camber than the passangerside. how can i fix this? is this normal on fc's? i like having oversteer and i feel that this is making it hard to do so. btw i have a 87 TII with out the auto suspension stuff.

thanks

My 90 is the same in the back, and I can swing the tail around with no problem.

In any alignment shop, they gonna say your rear camber is not adjustable. you have to buy the camber kits for the rear and put it in and drive to the alignment shop.

Don't worry.

In response to your question about it being normal. Don't worry about it, it is normal, it's how they are designed. It's to make it harder to lose the back end when cornering.
