Negative camber.

[Bobbybedtime]

Hi,
My car has lots of negitive camber, wouldn't like to guess how much but loads ...
Talking with RT he suggested the trailing arm bushes and pins would be a good place to start. In the process of pulling stuff apart I had to remove the drive shaft as it was stuck in the hub. Took the drive shaft, trailing arm and lower link off in one. When I removed the drive shaft I was expecting to find some shims but none were present. Looking at the set up I'mm assuming less shims more negitive camber.
Is there a typical amount of shims between drive shaft and disk.
The disc is sitting central on calipers so the shimming on the other side looks ok.

The training arm ... number of washers between chassis and arm are different both sides. Was told by RT this adjusts the toe in. Does anyone have a standard setting for the gap between chassis and trailing arm or is the set up individual to each car.
Regards, BBT

THe number of washers in your picture is indeed individual to each car and yes it sets the toe in.

I've not played with shimming the driveshaft to set the camber but you probably can do this. I'd be interested to find out how much shim translates into what degree of camber.
