    Easy rear camber, no increased track and no spare axle needed

    in Chassis & Suspension

    Posted · Edited by mark1991

    Not big write up as i'm falling sleep :lazy:

    What started off as a lazy phone call to Gary91... ended in being in the garage stripping the rear axle, brakes and suspension off my car as i wanted some camber.

    After reading a few threads and builds claiming there was some gains to be had in handling (and better clearance for my wheels)

    I didn't want to increase the track and have to get a donner axle to cut the stubs off.

    so this is what we did.

    With some measuring and cutting 1 cut was where the beam meets the plate the stub is welded to.

    I added 1.5 degrees

    The second cut was below the stub as you can see above, not cut all the way through! Also the cut was ground out to be filled out properly.

    I have a feeling there will be criticism on my method but at the end day i didn't just start welding a fabricating yesterday :D

    This took me a few hours with no machining! Just some good measuring, cutting and welding and double checking everything.

    Any questions :)
