Rear camber arms
Can someone explain a diy of a rear camber arm.
Basically i know-how to install but do not know how to adjust. Basically i set the new arm about the length of oem arm then installed. I need a crap ton more negative camber so does the arm need to be longer or shorter? Can this adjustment be made with the arm on the car or does the arm need to be disconnected to make it longer or shorter?
Thanks.
Just need to not rub so badly on the way to alignment shop 20 min trip lots of dips and bad roads.

^^^ This.
If you look at how they're attached, you can easily see that the arms are attached at a "below axle centerline" point and therefore shorter would pull them in at the bottom hence reducing camber and lengthening does the opposite by "pushing out the bottom of the tire".
Your final adjustment should be done on an alignment rack of course.
