In Reply to: Rear subframe bushings - flip to change camber? posted by Todd on September 02, 2001 at 22:19:35:


I thought I read on the board that you could flip the rear subframe bushings to compensate for the rear camber when lowering the car. Is this true? If so, is it worth it when going to H&R springs? I am finally getting back under the car and need to know so I can get this thing back on the road.

Although I do need to place a call to Maximillians for some parts. Seems like every time I start a project on this car it gets bigger.

Hmmm... while putting springs and sway bars on I might as well do complete urethane bushings. If I go that far I may as well do the Bilsteins now. Now that I think of it, it sure would be handy to do that '77 vented rotor conversion on now...

Sound familiar to anyone??? I'll never get it back on the road if I keep this up.

'68 "eternal" project - some day to have 25/22 bars, H&R springs, Bilstein sports, Full Urethane bushings, "big brakes", mounted race seat and full cage.

Not to mention the Stahl header, dual 45 Webers, and other misc. stuff I have been collecting for the engine build...

and though there is considerable negative camber, I just live with it. It just ain't worth the pain to me to flip the rear subframe bushings... Though I should have at least TRIED it when I put the subframe back in...
