So, last night I am doing an alignment at the shop and I see that the rear passenger tab that hold the "oblonged washer" to adjust the camber is flat against the subframe. I tried heating it up and bending it back out so I could throw some weld on the side of it to give it some support, but it just wasnt having it. Also the "washer" stripped out from the bolt and the bolt was spinning freely. I threw a small amount of weld to connect the two back together, but I need to replace it!!



So, I did the best that I could and came up with these settings for the rear...(Both)

Camber: -3.0
Caster: 0.00
Total Toe: 0.20


Also in the front from my accident I can only get these settings...(Both)

Camber: -1.5
Caster: 8.0
Total Toe: 0.00



Now back to the rears. What can I do to fix this issue? Would a rear camber kit fix/ replace the stock bolts/ tabs? If so, could someone let me know where and what brand you would reccommend?


P.S. - I am looking for help and not wanting to hear "how is that possible?" and "you dont know what your doing." I am solely looking for help and if you dont know an exact answer please do not post. Thanks

This is the one I welded to support it from going flat again and now it happened on the reverse side...but I am unable to fix the other side. Im lost now

 

What do you mean by "going flat"?

 

This happened to me, but my welder was able to pry up the tab and weld it so that the dog ears wouldnt spin (which is what they do if you just pry it up and try to adjust without welding)

You can disassemble that part to get more space to get the tab up and rewelded, get a new rear subframe or get adjustable ball joints, which wont replace that part, but will give you more adjustment to be able to compensate for your broken piece.

 

Well tonight after a new bolt assembly and some much needed welding I was able to align my S PERFECTLY!!!
