so i was riding behind my car the other day while my buddy was driving it and i noticed that my camber on the rear whels looked different. my drivers side rear tire has more camber it looks like then my pass side. i searched and found someone with my same problem but no one really answered his problem. and it ended in dec of 06. can i get some reasons why this could happen. thanks

The driver's side is ALWAYS loaded by the driver's weight when driving, where the passenger side is loaded less often. Over time this leads to more spring sag on the drivers side. In the rear suspension of the FC there's a lot of camber gain on compression, so as the suspension sags, the wheels camber in more and more, and since the driver's side sags more, it gets more camber.

so what would i do to fix this problem. i have racing beat springs on my car and kyb struts. would the little camber link go bad nd cause the wheel to camber in more?

check to see if one side is actually lower than the other, or if its just the camber thats off.
either way, invest in these-

if those dont get you close enough to the proper camber setting, you can combine it with a center adjuster, but the individuals should really come first.

Shouldn't it be the other way around as large adjustments of the individ. links can lead to suspension bind? From what I gather ,one should go with the adjustable center link initially and if needed the indivd. links to even out the camber side to side.

ideally you should use both systems together. i dont like the center adjuster because
a) it doesnt change camber evenly on both wheels (i think drivers side gets more)
2) it changes the driveshaft/pinion angle, because it moves the whole subframe. i dont know if it changes it enough to matter, but its something to consider.

I Dont Know That I Have Ever Heard Of Anyone Complaining About The Driveshaft Angle Messing Up Something. But I Also Have Not Looked For Anyone Saying That Either. I Like How The Driverside Sits With The Camber In It Though I Just Havent Done Nothing To Adjust It And The Other Side Dont Sit Like The Drivers Side Does, Thats Why Im Asking How That Would Happen.

i guess you could check for bent parts. If a lateral link is bent, even a tiny bit, i'll throw off the camber. any sloppy bushings will prolly have the same result.
