Roll the arches, only amount of rear camber that will be realistically needed is 1-1.5deg imo and thats on a track setup.

What wheels are you running? I have 14x6 et 36 195/45r14 rubber and I dont scrub even with no fluid

Hi,my car is an actual kit car running on rover 114 floorpan and all the mechanics from the same ,I've got 15in rims with 185.65.15 tyres,I want to go to 205,s but everything gets a bit close,tyre is virtually on the grease nipple,so I thought if the rear had more of a neg camber it would then widen that gap and also increase the gap in between the tyre and the arch,I also want to lower the car so that will close gaps up yet again,any thoughts on how to neg camber the rear,regards mark

I've made an eccentric cam washer for the outer side of the rear suspension pin, depending on where you put it depends on how much camber or toe you will achieve. I locked it in place with a dowel down the side, ideally you could do with a few, wash with a different amount of movement to adjust it perfectly.

I don't, hopefully thus shows what I mean, doing this on just the outside washer will give negative camber with the hole at the top.
