Camber or Bushing.
Hello Ladies and Gents,
I've recently put my car on coilovers and stanced it. Sure I know not everyone is going to like it and that's fine. However, I've come across an issue that I was trying to figure out. The car feels like it's dancing past 70mph. I keep the wheel straight; however the car feels like it wiggles left and right. Now my compression rod bushings are toast and I've ordered some SPL's, however my car is running -6 degrees of camber in the rear. I'm trying to figure out if its more of a camber issue or bushing. Here is a photo:
Thank you,
Zlatan

Your the most jaded person I've ever seen on a forum. All your responses are structured in a smart *** way. I really and honestly believe you need to take a deep breath and focus on finding some peace within yourself. Thank you for the advice, try not to be such an *** all the time with the little bit of helpful knowledge you throw around like your Jesus in his 2nd coming.

Did you follow the SM instructions on tightening the bolt on the lower end of the shock absorber? If not, you may have damaged the bushing in the axle housing. It's not supposed to be tightened fully until the car is on the ground.

Once you have the bushing problem fixed and the car properly aligned it will tell you more. -6 camber is a lot, you are operating with suspension geometry set up in a way it is not even close to being deligned to operate in.
I know at the front -2.7 i run the car tracks a little strange on the road, i'm sure -6 is a bit different. Then you throw bump, and lack of proper suspension movement into the mix, weird stuff will happen.
