Rear camber table

[Tadman]

Recently I adjusted my rear camber and never measured it just kept an eye on wear, but I had the car aligned before and after having the camber and the toe hasn't changed that much considering the camber went from -0.57 to -4.25

What I was wondering is there a table or chart that can be made for adjusting rear camber yourself? Like length of the rear camber arm in mm = degree of camber? It is just a triangle but I'm sure abit more than just some trig haha, would be cool so people can adjust there own rear camber accurately

Cheers

Best plan is to get alignment place to make on the arm at 1/2/3degrees.
Then you can play/adjust at home

Yeah I did mine and just wound them in for looks but obv bad haha, there at -4.3 which is insane! Ill drop that back to hopefully -2.5 or -2, but ill take a few measurements when the rain stops ill try and take a few measurements unless someone has already done it better haha might be alright might be **** though lol

Okay i have a done a few sketchs and have come up with this one i think haha,

Basically the top number is the adjustable camber arm hence the 8 then 7, the 5 and 9 should be fixed as they dont move on the car only the angles change not length (these are just numbers i choose not actual dimensions!!), i couldnt quite work out how to translate the triangle angles into the actual wheel camber, but obviously where the camber/control arms attach to the hub there is a few dimensions i havnt wrote down and are simply the dotted lines, this is the hub body that accepts the arms and isnt a simple shape but i hope you get the idea haha,

Finally the actual road camber (i think lol) is the difference between the dotted lines on the far left from the 8 position to the 7 position would be the actual wheel camber.. its not perfect infact very far from it, but i think this could work :S if anyone has a better drawing or input would be appreciated, and dimensions are a must!! then it could be proven or not


Seems abit funny just something i was thinking and would be brilliant for setting up own camber

One thing to note is that the camber arm doesnt actually sit directly above the bottom control arm its slightly to the forward of the car, so assuming the more neg camber the more toe in but only slightly!
