Too much rear negative camber.

[LaserSVT]

So how do I fix it? I had long ago thought I had too much negative camber in the rear but the shops never said anything and had various excuses for not being able to supply a print out. So its getting aligned now and he just called to say he couldnt hit the 0* I requested on the rear. The best they could do is -1.4* on the drivers and -2.2* on the passenger side.
Cant get any more adjustment out of it.

So no what? I there anything I can do about this?
He also said he could only get the drivers front to 4.7 caster and it should be above 4.8 if memory serves. Of course that will increase as the bushing wers in a bit but that rear camber is worrysome.

Holy cow! I am looking at the printout from my alignment and I only eyeballed all the settings when I put the car back together. I had to remove the LCAs because my pickle isnt wide enough to remove the ball joints so I knew my camber would be off and since the SRBs were new I knew it would throw the castor off too.
So with me eye balling it:
.................Before ... After
Camber left -1.0 -.9
camber right -1.0 -1.0
caster left 4.7 4.7
caster right 4.9 4.8
Toe left .22 .1
Toe right .27 .11

I prolly could have gotten away without an alignment at all.

So tuff chit I guess? No way to correct the rear other then cutting and shortening the rear LCA or making the UCA longer? No kits of fixes?

The rear upper arm is adjustable on the inner bushing......my car is pretty low and the rear tires are fine.....

Bill, I'd try another shop for a second opinion. Then if the second shop can get it any better I'd ask the first shop for my damn money back.

Thats the third shop thats done the car now. It has always worn the inside rear tires faster then the front and this last place gave me the read out of before/after for the rear and there was no change cause he couldnt dial more positive camber into it. So even the previous shop couldnt do it nor the shop before them. Has me very curious about the problem and this weekend I will have it in the air to see if I can figure out what to do.
