Adjustable rear arms effecting toe and not camber?

[Hayd350]

Afternoon All,

 

Just playing around with alignment on my 350 and the new SPL rear camber arms seem to be effecting toe rather than camber? Can any one shed any light on this somehow

as everythings back in spec but camber needs adjusting as it's pretty far out.

 

We're going to loosen things up and start from scratch but it feels like the long way round and i'm sure / hoping there's a logical explanation for it.

 

Any input as always is appreciated.

Rear cambers arms can change both camber and indirectly toe. If the adjustments are being done at a shop, they'll be able to dial it in to a sensible setting.

Ok cheers that makes sense then. We'll have a tinker. I say we, a mechanic friend of mine with a state of the art laser alignment set up, I'll just point at stuff.

My car was heavy toe in so we adjusted that first to make it driveable but then ran out of time.

When lowered less camber yields more toe in using factory toe arms

So a balance between the two is what i'm aiming for in that case. The car handles fine, it's just the camber looks a bit of a dog on the rear and it's upsetting eyes.
