Default How many washers for correcting rear camber?

I purchased 8 grade 8 washers so 2 washers for each bolt on the back. I think I remember reading 1 washer=.5* of correction. So if I have a 1.5''-1.75'' drop how many washers do I need to correct the back.

Have the car aligned and then get the printout and see how much camber there is in the rear and go from there.

If I take off those bolts for the UCA its not going to mess up the toe is it? I read that somewhere but I thought only the compensator arm controlled toe.

i like your bumper/tire combo.. it looks nice!!

just add 1 washer on each, and then see what happens. if you need more in about a week, add another.. trial and error mang!!!

Hahha my rear bumper looks like *** cuz when I painted it I ran out of paint so it's all splotchy and I really hate painting things.

As for washers I'll try 2 of them and see if it is still negative or positive. I have an Ingalls kit and as soon as I install that I will get it aligned. But right now I drive a lot on the highway to school so I want to make sure I don't get bad wear.
