I'm looking to gain some negative camber on the front end and have a question about turning the strut mounting blocks. The service manual says that the "B" and "C" positions change the camber by .5 degree, but is it -.5 or +.5. Anybody know for sure?

I've got an autocross coming up and the standard +.3 just doesn't cut it.

 

Isn't there somebody out there who knows the answer? With all the changes made around here, I thought this would be a gimme.

 

that why i have the shop manual! its not good for much else...
it says 30' but that doesn't mean anything to me...
you want the dot to face the inside rear of the car. the other thing you can do is the loosen all of the front suspension bolts and have your assistant hold the wheel at max negative camber, whilst you retorque everything.

sorry i thought i was going to be more helpful

there, after 10 mins of searching for you

hmm i have this little camber problem and i wonder if those blocks were just installed backwards after the springs b/c one wheel is fine while the other it outward. i looked but the white dot is kinda faded off hmm that makes it a litle tougher.

Thanks Scott. That's the answer I was hoping for. Darn shop manual just says it's 1/2 deg., but not which direction.

I see you're from N. Van. You ought to come down for one of our autocrosses. The last event of the season is Sept. 9 at the BP Refinery lot on Grandview. We usually have 5 RX-7s that run.

Thanks again.
