chucks06LGT Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Just go the alignment checked and the r/r camber is almost 2 degrees negative. The car is not lowered. Question is what options have people used to correct this? I've seen camber bolts and aftermarket lower control arms. I thought that if the camber is off either the upper or lower control arm is tweaked. But the real question is which one? I figure one of the two has to be the one that typically requires replacement in this situation. So thoughts please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Mac Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 No camber bolts available for the rear. Only options are upper outer control arm camber bushes, a full upper camber control arm or both lower adjustable control arms. Mine weren't exactly the same as each other. One was about 1.5 before any adjustments were made with the camber bushes. 2000 Legacy B4 RSK - SOLD 2006 Legacy BP5 GT Spec B wagon - Garage Thread 2011 VW T5 van 2.0L of turbo diesel awesomeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phate Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Is there are bunch of stuff in the trunk? Are your rear springs sagged? If yes, it might as well be lowered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucks06LGT Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 I've heard a few mention before there is no camber bolts available. Moog makes kit # K5330 just in case anyone was wondering. There is not much weight in the back of the car. If it was an issue of weight or rear springs sagging, the camber would mostly likely be shot on both rear wheels. The L/R is right in the middle of the tolerance. Just the R/R... Anyone have any thoughts on which of the two arms would be more suspect to be bent?

08SpecB_DE Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 You can get the tires off of it and compare everything. Typically, it would be a lower arm as they are more prone to damage but anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livinon2wheels Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 the whitelinerear lower control arms are excellent, well made and already have urethane bushings installed, i recommend these highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08SpecB_DE Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I'd have thought bending a lower arm would make it shorter, thereby decreasing negative camber? That all depends on how it was bent. If it's ever been towed and the tow truck guy hooks it by one arm and yanks it then that could be enough. Your best bet is to get it in the air and compare both sides.
