Rear Camber Setting


Recommended Posts

I just fitted new boots to the left driveshaft. Rather than split the lower balljoint I removed the adjustment bolt for the rear camber, not realising it provided adjustment until it was too late! I've put the car back together and done my best to line up the bolt to their original position but I really need to get the settings checked out, does anyone know the correct settings for the front & rear?

The car is a UK spec, Boxster S 2001

Thanks

Hi,

I have realised that it is the rear wheel allignment setting that I need not the camber, ie the Toe in or Toe out figure. The bolt I removed was the adjustment bolt, the main arm that commected to the lower balljoint, this directly adjusts the toe.

No other bolts were disturbed, apart from the rear tie rod joint, the adjustment bolt on this tie rod was not touched.

Looks really simple to adjust so hopefully someone knows the figure.

Thanks for reading!

The camber should be matched left to right. You can measure camber with ordinary hand tools and do some math. The real problem is that if you touch either of the eccentrics, you toe will be horrifically off. Unless you have right tools and experience, you cannot get it adjusted back to normal. You need to take it to an alignment shop. I would drive locally and not even take it on the highway. Trust me, if you loosen and then tighten an eccentric, you can easily throw your toe off by a 1/2".
