My rear wheels have a lot of camber ( about 1.5" measured top to bottom of wheel against a vertical reference. Negative camber, in at top). When on a jack with the wheels off the ground, there is little to no play when grabbing the top of the tire and pulling in/out. Even if the bushings were missing I don't think the camber would be that much. On the jack, wheels off the ground there is a little camber, about right. There is no camber adjustment so I cannot figure out where it comes into play.
I just replaced an old set of lowering springs and OEM shocks with DMCH springs/shocks. I hoped that the old set (Fred Locket's springs ... for those around long enough to remember him ... AKA the DeLorean Pilot) had "squished" a bit causing the camber. But the new set camber is the same. I currently have the top of the colored height adjustment collar to center of lower shock bolt at ~5-3/4". The wheel wells seem too low at the height but thought I'd reach out before moving on.
Adjustable lower or upper control arms could adjust the camber ... Regardless, there should not be that much camber.
- Early car ... 897
- The frame was stripped and repaired so all the components have been off.
- As I recall, the original lower control arms were replaced
Any ideas?????? Were there differences in lower control arm lengths?
