camber question please help
i have an ingalls camber kit that i used to fix the wheels up front and i have been doin some reading about stuff and thought i would try to do the washer trick for the rear. the reason i am being cheap and doin this is because i already spent a **** load of money on stuff and i need to start saving some. i know some people who have done it and havent had any problems with inspection or safety issues or anything like that. but my question is how many washers do you use to fix it. for example would 1 washer = 1 degree of camber?

If you do the washer trick I would reccommend getting longer bolts as well. Do not use your stock bolts because you are reducing the number of threads that is holding the rear adjuster on. These rear bolts have an odd thread pitch so be careful. I think it is something like 10x1.0, I would take one with me to a hardware store and match it up. You do not want to cross thread these rear holes. I think each washer is typically good for about a 1/4 degree. and usually the most you would run is three.
Ingalls does make a kit with the longer bolts and washers. They tell you how much each washer does and they retail for about $12 bucks.
