Terrible rear camber, why?
Ok my rear camber is way off, lots of negative camber. What could be the cause? Camber links, suspension bushings, shocks?

Extreme suspension drops will though.
Was the car lowered recently???

i can't believe this is actually a thread....
that is how the rear suspension was designed. i'm not 100% sure of the reason so i won't speculate here. don't worry about you camber!!! if you want to lower you car ALOT, then you can buy adjustable links at mazdatrix.com
here is what you WOULD need....don't change anything unless you learn about your suspension first....and you are going to race...alot!!

Those links will only dial out so much negative camber.
Excessive rear camber cannot be dialed out with those links or even with a rear adjust camber rod.
Dropping the rear over 2" can induce huge amounts of negative camber and no adjustable link is going to take all of it out.

If you have the stock 18 year old suspension, your springs are most likely sagging, causing excessive negative camber (similar to when you install lowering springs).
