Factory Rear Camber Adjustment?

[R.3.2.G.T.R]

tried to search but too many threads on rear cambers

what i would like to know is if the factory r32 gtr allows any rear camber adjustment

my rear drivers side tyre has significant camber wear on the inside whereas the passenger side is normal, i would like to correct the driver side camber without buying aftermarket gear

Sure does. There's an eccentric cam washer on the rear upper arm. Undo the locking nut and then rotate the bolt to move the arm in and out.

thanks bud, I'm looking at doing thus at home as I have had the car at two alignment joints that didn't pick up the issue

was thinking of using something as a marker n comparing it against the good side to get better adjustment

any suggestions, it's only temp fix till I get new tyre n take it for proper alignment

Hope you don't mind the thread-jack, but any ideas how much neg you can dial in?

reference CH-231 on the workshop manual, states a figure but hard to post here

Screenshot and upload to ImageShack?

I do all my alignments at home after having some bad experiences with alignment places. Nothing more accurate than fishing line and a good ruler if you set up your datum system properly.

this is for the rear suspension, ill try out your method when i do my camber

[LotusGTR]

Cheers. So about 1 degree neg.

Sorry for digging this up but is there a similar system for the front suspension? I can't seem to find anything in the manual that suggests the front susp can be adjusted for camber?

The answer for a standard car is no. The front is fixed.

Just buy some front camber arms, there cheap enough and they will more then likely be rooted and require replacement anyways.

I thought you'd get more then 1 deg on the rear? I adjust my rear to max neg to squeeze my wheels in and there was a huge difference in camber when fully adjusted.

Or you can just get a replacement bush kit that allows for camber adjustment.

The usual problem is you cannot reduce the rear camber sufficiently after the car is lowered. There is not alot of adjustment stock. Ofcourse if it is all about fitment then it is completely irrelevent. In the same manner that proper handling and tyre life is completey irrelevent.
