    Vr4 rear camber

    Hi there guys, ive had a little problem for a few years now but never bothered about it until now with the rear wheels occasionally catching. Not wanting to roll the arches and damage the body seams has anyone modified the top arms to give some negative camber and much needed clearances.
    I'm under the rear arches at moment attending to sticking hand brake cables and some bits of rust so any advise will be greatly appreciated

    You can get rear camber kits somewhere. I think they consist of eccentric bushes or bolts. Will see if I can find a linky!

    No worries, Dave! To be fair, I thought they were an item you had to get from Oz!

    Though they appear to have a Mitsi part number, and the ASA pic looks like the eccentric bolt/washer assembly?

    All we can do is try it and see.
    Wonder if its possible to adapt the same piece of kit for the front aswell?

    Are those not for toe rather than camber. You can just space out the upper arms with washers as in one of the articles to adjust the camber on the rear

    I think to get some negative camber at the rear these top arms are going to need cutting and welding. Has anyone done this mod?
