Rear camber markings
when i had my rear apart to do the ujoints i had to unbolt the beams that control the camber on the wheel..i marked the position of the cam bolt relative to the markings. On the left side, i noticed the cam bolt seemed to be turned as far as it'll go for positve camber,and on the right side it was centered some what in the middle. So i adjusted the left side to match the right..ever thing seemed good. Yesterday i noticed some severe negative camber on my rear left it looks like a gt racer,I havent looked under the car yet to see if the bolt has moved. If not i am begining to think the wierd setting it had before was proper.Anyone know where to set the markings?
ok i just looked..the bolt hasnt moved, so obviously the right and left arent the same setting...

I doubt they show equal camber numbers when identical(just what you said). I used them more for reference marks when doing the adjustment. Unfortunately, I don't recall if they were equal when my alignment was complete and my vehicle is not available or I would look.

Re: Rear camber markings (nsimmons)
you should get an alignment done. get it as close as possible sunday. wear and other facters will make the cams look in different positions, but have proper settings
