Rear Camber Install question

I recently bought a camber arm to camber out my wheels after lowering it. I received my camber arm and i thought there was supposed to be two. I am use to 240sx thats why i thought that. I found out from the guy and other lil research that it is installed in the middle of the car on the rear sub frame. I looked under my car a little bit and could not find where to install it at. If some one could post a picture or post a good description of where it is located that would be very helpful! Sorry about the n00b question.
Thanks

It is mounted on the rear crossmember to the left of the differential. I know it does not seem like it would control camber but it does so by changing the angle of the forward tilt of the suspension subframe...wierd...but true.

No.
What they DO sell are adjustable individual camber links which attach the trailing arms to the subframe. They have been known to break when used as the sole method of adjusting camber. The preferred method is to use both; the camber link (which u already have) for course adjustments, and the individual adjusters to level it out side to side.

Bare in mind that the link uses the compliance of the subframe bushings to make adjustments, and the individual adjusters rely on the compliance of the trailing arm bushings. As such these bushings must remain stock as a harder bushing would not allow for adjustment. The exception being the trailing arm bushings which could be replaced w/spherical bearings.

Oh, and leave the 240 stuff on zilvia (w/the exception of wheel fitment) it if of no relevance in the land of rotors.

QFT!!

And even bottomed all the way down, it doesn't pull out as much camber as I was hoping for.

we all wish they make something like that as far as rear camber adjustment your only option would be individual camber adjusters or a camber vertical rod like the own that you own.

PAGE 13-25 Good luck =]
