Default How to adjust rear camber

Racing a 94 hatch at a local dirt track
I really need to adjust my passenger side rear tire
To lean inward toward the car a good bit to help with cornering and tire/wheel roll

Best way to achieve this simply use washers for spacers?

Invest in a ingalls camber kit.
They give you the option to adjust to your hearts desire.

You can use washers for POSITIVE camber adjustment. You seem to want negative camber.

You need a camber kit if that's legal for your class.

If not, try using a stock 96-00 civic LCA on that side. Since they are longer, you'll get some neg camber. You'll need spacers for the shock fork. The fork is widely spaced. The bushing is narrow. You'll see.

Ok I looked at a couple kits
They adjust 4+ and -4 degrees

Trying to visualize how much that is leaning inward

195/55/15 tires are 23.44" diameter.

Sin (4°) x 23.44 = 1.63" inward/outward at the top of the tire. Additonal to the neg camber created by lowering the car...if that's what they're advertising.

So...1.63" of horizontal movement.

Different diameter tire? Plug your diameter into that equation.

Most likely more than you need.
