Rear camber on RX leone.

Post by smsubarus » Tue Jan 22, 2013 7:34 pm

I have an RX Leone that is for autocross/khanacross on dirt, and I am trying to find out how to get camber on the rear wheels (if its possible)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Marcus.

There was a guy who modified the outer semi-trailing arm mounts and put an offset bolt from some commodore in there to adjust the camber.
I suppose you could extend the inner mount down and have the arm pivot point lower in the inside. Not real easy either way.

brindabella motor sport forum may be a starting point to get some info on these dinosaurs.

Thanks for the suggestions. Looking into moving the inner suspension arm mount on the cross member and see how that goes.

Easiest way to do it is remove the rear tyre, then on the outer arm of the swing arm assembly there are three bolts. Undo these and you can move the hub enough to go from positive camber to negative. I just can't remember which way is which. I've had to play with mine a bit to get it where I wanted it after swapping swing arms over.

It's easy and it's cheap. If that's not enough then go for your other mod. In this pic you can see the camber on the rear left:
