Rear Camber Questions Post KMAC
Hey guys,
Just had my 1/2 KMAC installed and aligned. Question I had is the two rear wheels are almost half a degree different in camber. Does that sound odd to anyone?
Thanks
Steve

poor technician...I've got 1/2 with -1.35 and -1.33 , damn close! :)
Well, I do plan on getting a full set, as I would like to lower my car more than the HR/Bilstein combo drops.

That's not right...the issue will be that the toe is also affected...
....and the car will have a thrust or 'pull' to one side or the other. The reason is since the camber arms trail the natural axel more neg camber = more toe in and vis a vis...
...so let's say you're -1.2 and -1.8 you may have a toe in delta of 1/8"-1/4"
...some suggest less neg camber on the left rear for road crown...but that's no more than -0.1-0.15 degree delta...like -1.5 lr and -1.6 rr. i run with -1.6 and -1.6 ...
