After getting new tires and replacing nearly control arm on the car I decided to take it for an alignment. Took it to a buddy's shop and he got everything within spec pretty easily, except for the rear camber. Factory calls for -.8* to -1.8*, and he got...
LEFT = -.6*
RIGHT = -1.1*
Right now I have the DIY fender washer mod. 4 washers in each with longer bolts. He told me to re-adjust the best I can and take it back and he'll check it out again. My question is this.... Besides trial and error how do I figure out how much to move that upper control arm to get the rear within spec?
I found one math equation online that read as followed...
Tire Diameter(24.875) x Pi(3.14) / 360 = .217" = 1*
Does that seem correct? I also included a quick sketch if it helps at all.
