Rear camber crazy from .75" drop

[Summerwolf]

I would get a second opinion on the install itself, as well as the alignment.

If all else fails here are some adjustable rear lcas for a decent price.....http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112652

Stance LCA will lower his rear more.

True, but would make his camber adjustable and he seems to be on a budget.

Whiteline or spl would be cheaper anyways, lol.

I did overlook this step last night.

Does the pic work? Ill have to get under there when its dry out and see wich ends are pointing which way

That is probably your issue. One spring isn't situated correctly.

3:06 or so...

We shall see. I guess that will be my issue if so!!

Yeah watched every video on youtube before i did the install.

Did you see my photo. Says one end needs to point to rear other to front. Which he doesnt mention. Nor does any other installer. The springs are seated properly in their perches. I just will have to see if the ends are pointing in the correct direction

Whats my cheapest option?

When I installed TRD springs, the post-alignment rear camber wasn't even. The important part is to get your toe zeroed out. A degree of camber is sub-optimal, but it won't destabilize the car or burn through tires.

IIRC, we ended up with 2.1 & 1.0 degrees. It has felt great for daily driving and autocross this season.

If you need it even, SPC is the cheapest lower control arm option. It's hard to justify other LCA's unless you're dropping much lower (or you just like car jewelry).

Yah toe is great. Its just rear right camber thats in the red. I dunno man it looks really weird. One tire is tucked into sidewall and the other pokes out quite a bit. Im assuming the direction the coil end is pointing is off. If its not the coils and its installed correctly.

What about lca bushings? Dont they allow for +\- .5 degree? Would let me get one side to -1.5 and -2.0. Much closer.

I also think theres a little clunk on rear corner that is -2.5. Im going to re install the rears making sure ends are pointed in proper direction. Then pay for another alignment

You'll pay with the bushings in labor...

Did you have similar difference in the tires before the springs? If not, something seems to have changed somehow with the install. I am unsure what it might be since there really is very little wiggle room on the rear install. I suspect the camber has always been off.

Not that i noticed. Looked fine before!! And how will i payvwith bushings jn labour? I dont want new lca as i dont want to be any lower in rear!!

Bushings have to be burned or pressed out for replacement. So there is labor costs.

Only certain rear lcas lower you.

Assuming you refer to the whiteline bushings that allow camber adjustment in the rear... They're a pain to work with. That eats time, which costs (either good will if its a fixed rate alignment or in hourly rate).

Rear LCA won't make you lower unless you go with a lowering LCA like the Stance. Whiteline won't, and is among the lower cost options.

There really is no room for geometry change in the back beyond bushing compliance. That's a possibility, you mention noise IIRC. Verify full range of motion without binding without the shock, and be sure it installs easily as a place to start checking.
