Default How do you adjust rear camber?

- most of you already know how low I am and my rear camber is HORRIBLE
- how do you adjust the rear camber? which bolts? any pics?
- oh, here is a pic just to show how bad the camber is... I dunno why this picture makes the camber look 28931409328401928 times worse (yea yea, "its the angle")

No you need an aligment rack. I dont think you should try to adjust camber yourself, just get an alignment.

It's not worth doing yourself unless you have access to a 4-wheel alignment machine. However, the process is descibed in the Helm manual.

It will be almost imposible to get both sides the same. Just get the alignment, it will handle better.
