Camber - The cheap way.

[Dmonday]

Warning: If you use this method on the road, you will crash and instantly burn to death.

As a few of you where asking for a quick write up on using washers for camber, i'm running rear drums at the moment but it will be the same for rear discs and if you can't remove the rear discs / callipers you shouldn't be doing this

All you will need is a couple of M10 or M12 washers (i think it's M10)

First thing you'll need to do (obviously) is stick some wood / a brick in front of the front wheels and take the hand brake off, jack the rear end up and take the wheel off.

Take the pin out and the cover off should have a large nut behind that, won't be too tight so just need to take that off

Then take the washer and wheel bearing out should have these below out so far

Pop the hub off (should come straight off with the hand brake off)

should see this ring above, might take a few taps or a little tug with mole grips to pop it off

Due to my bolts being rounded off can't get any more pictures but it's pretty simple from here, take the bottom two bolts fully out and loosen the top two off to get enough room to slip washers under the bottom two bolts.

A washer needs to go under the bottom left bolt on the picture, if you want more camber you want two washers under the left bolt and one under the bottom right, this stops you having as much toe.

I'm not recommending you do this as you will almost definatly crash and burn to death as i know some people will point out, but i'm using this method find with standard bolts and hundreds of other people are so any questions, i'll try and answer them for you
