DIY: Rear Camber/toe
Alrighty guys, here is your DIY for adding camber/toe on the rear axle. I only added negative camber, but this method can be used to add positive camber, and toe in/out as well.
Here we go!
What you need: 3/4 tire wrench/impact for the lugs
14mm box wrench/deep base socket
3/8 or 10mm washers
First off you will need to unbolt the wheel.
You will be left with this (Mine has a 1"spacer on the drum)

On the rear you will find 4 nuts. a 14mm socket/wrench will fit them. You will need a deep base socket if you go that route.

This is my tool of choice. 14mm ratcheting box wrench. All I needed was this + a hammer to break the nuts loose.

Now that you have the nuts off, the entire drum assembly will pull off. Be careful with the brake line/TPMS line if you have it. I rested the drum on my leg while I took this pic/added washers.

Here is where you make the alignment change. I wanted negative camber, so I added washers to the bottom. If you want to in, you add washers to the rear 2 studs. If you want toe out, add washers to the front 2 studs, and positive camber, add washers to the top 2 studs. I used 3 washers on each bottom stud. This pic is before I tightened down the nuts.

Now all you need to do is tighten down the nuts, put the wheel on and tighten down the lugs!
this pic is a before. A little negative from lowering, but MOAR is needed

Ill post more later for sure.
I need to get some 8's in the rear. widest I can run up front is 7.5"

I cant quite see why you needed, it, what thickness washer are you using? thats got to be a few degrees?
you can buy a shim kit to do this with and dial in the amount of camber and toe..
i have 8" rims in the front and 9" rims in the back.

Damn you have wide wheels... I didn't need it, its just for looks. Im not sure of the thickness of washer but I think I'm gonna dial it down a bit and just do 1 washer for much less camber

Although personally not for me, this was a great how to good pics/ directions. Hope it goes well for ur auto x- ing.

Bumping this for some guys on Facebook. Also, daox or metrompg, can you clean up the how to section? 99% is people needing help with something, which doesn't belong in this section.
