TSB on Rear excessive camber
looks like most people have gone aftermarket to correct most of their suspension problems. Just wondering if anyone looked into / have also done this to their vehicle per TSB. I understand it can be a bit cheaper going after market adjusters to correct alignment issues. Like i said just a heads up if anyones done it this way also.

If those arms have 1 degree less negative camber built in, those could be a great part for EP racers who use bias ply cantilevered slicks and require virtually no camber in the rear. I'm assuming that wording before is refering to 1 degree more positive camber, which is only natural to fix excessive negative camber.
