Camber too negative, right rear, adj all way down, stock
Too negative is the top of the tire too much to the center of the car.
Not lifted. All other alignment ok
Already opened the slot further and we that helped so me. I'll be seen the camber wedge brick works sells for lifted vans but I wonder why I should need it for a stock van. Also, the CV axle sometimes hits the transmission blue disk seal in the drive flange.
What could it be?
I wonder if f the trailing arm or it's mounts are bent.
Also possibly the hub mounting flange is by bent?
Also, I'm dealing with wheel play in the 12/6 plane (it's solid in the 3/6 plane). So I wonder if that part adds to the degree it is off.
I got a replacement used trailing arm so I'll figure out how to orient it and it compares. I am taking off my current trailing arm as a part of this investigation and it's almost off

Timely post. I recently noticed too much negative camber on the driver's side rear of my van but have not yet attempted to adjust. Good luck! _________________ '87 Westy in Wolfram Grey Metallic |

I just ground out my slots about a 1/4” to get the camber pretty close by eye. |
