Trying to check out / set up suspension for autox in the future. Crawing under rear to set camber, I noticed hash marks on the adjusting cam. What do they represent? A degree each? 1/2 degree? or are they just reference points? Thanks for the info.

Funny, I was crawling under the cars today and noticed the same marks on the wheel spindle rod adjustment bolts, however I have been unable to reference specifics.

Hi

Those marks represent the camber settings. Each one is about 1 degree.
The bolt is to be torqued @185ftpounds.
Also note the once you change the camber you will have to reset the toe.

Good luck

Steven

P.S. check my old post on how I align my C-4 myself.
