Adjustable rear camber/toe?


Guest Anonymous

Anyone know of a rear kit that retains some adjustability?

AFAIK, the Ireland kit needs to be welded after installation, and I haven't come across any others. I'm still working with suspension setup (versus driver "style"!!) and so want to be able to change my mind at a later date...

Thx

it's an off centered bushing that can be rotated to adjust the camber/toe. It does not have as much adjustability as a weld in kit,

Just a clarification; Irelands kit doesnt have to be 'welded' after install..well..sorta. After you have it adjusted the way you want to, they recommend just doing a little tack weld on each of the 4 nuts/wahtever so you know its not going anywhere. Alternatively you could use loctite, but because of the close confines you have to work with, I would just give it a small tack.

Having said that, this weekend at the track I had neither. I just reefed it on there and away I went. Then again, I also did an 'eyeball' alignment...which surpisingly seems to be almost bang-on.

On my very lowered racecar, I reversed the rear mounts. This raised the subframe and removed a lot of excessive camber and toe at the same time.

Normally, the mount has a half inch extension going upward. By reversing the mount, the subframe is half inch higher. This will remove extra camber and toe. One drwback is that because the wheels have moved to the vertical, space between the tire and the fender lip is smaller.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
