Ba xr6 rear camber adjustment

[Hezabot]

I've got a ba xr6 sedan which is lowered 25mm and has 275 tyres on the rear, I'm getting bad camber wear and need to and a camber kit. My question is, what do I need I've found 2 different kits on eBay and I'm not sure which one I need. Also read somewhere else someone said that he would be using shims for some reason

Ute or sedan?

I think you can go either a whole new adjustable arm, or new bushes that have a set correction. I reckon go for the arms, as both ends will be new and don't need to muck around with fitting new parts to existing arms. Can then fine tune the adjustment more easily.

Ok so they both do the same thing then?

wht about shims, is there any need for me to use them?

[El Andrew]

I think the bushes give a set adjustment (ie x degrees) but the arms are fully adjustable within a range.

Not 100% sure on the shims - I'm pretty sure you would use in conjunction with the bushes to get the exact adjustment you want and then would have to re-install different ones if you wanted to fine tune the adjustment later. I don't think this would be an issue with the replacement arms. Someone else might be able to chime in and confirm or deny that.

There are no shims in the rear set up. As mentioned the offset bushes are "X" deg of change so you may wind up with different camber left to right. Personally I'd go with the arms.

 

The rear cradle needs to come out either way so might as well for the the system with better adjustability built in.

 

Who makes the arms and how much?

[Hezabot]

White line do a set of arms for about $350 or can get a set of nolathane for around $300 (off eBay), I've never been to much of a fan of nolethane so I'll be using white line.

$245

 

Also being a BA XR are you sure it doesn't have camber adjustable rear uprights? Most BA xr's did?

Yea I just got that pic of Google, If I do it is like to go with something well known (like white line)

 

Mena took to get wheel alignment the other day and he said it's only got the adjustment for tow. Was reading a few forums and looks like there was certain months/years that didn't have it, just got an unlucky one I guess
