I have bought some supposedly adjustable trailing arm bushes from Superflex in an effort to lose some of my e21 BMW's inherent negative camber. I am unsure how I should go about fitting them though and they never seem to answer the phone.

Has anyone else fitted these bushes to their e21 / e30 BMW or similar?

Do I have to fit the bushes, measure everything, take apart and adjust, then button it all up again to re-measure? It just seems to be a bit ''hit and miss'' to me. I can't see the new bushes being too easy to fit and remove time and time again anyway!

Any help and/or advice would be much appreciated please guys.

It's the excessive negative camber that I want to reduce. As the springs compress the negative camber increases to the point where there are witness marks on the inner wall of the tyres. It's only very slight but it's there all the same. Added to which, anything over 2 or 3 degrees is bad for the handling and makes the transition to oversteer much less predictable and progressive.

Thankfully, Superflex have just mailed and said that they are revising the bushes and including bolts that aid the adjustment. Problem solved - I hope.
