dandyZ Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 On my 71 240: Replaced the rear control arm bushings with msa polyurethane and now have pos camber and toe in. What is the best approach? Adjustible bushings or performance camber Kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 What are the adjustable bushings you speak of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I would assume that he is referring to the G Machine bushings like MSA sells. I'd go with the bushings if it is a street car. If the toe is really far off, that will be more important than the camber for tire wear. Another option is adjustable control arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMWHYR0HEN Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 The easiest way to adjust camber is with camber plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelly Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 If it's a street car, you really don't want to go with camber plates in the rear. You're opening up a lot of roadnoise into the car by doing so... Go with those Gmachine bushings or adjustable control arms... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I use the offset aluminum/nylon camber bushings with the stock suspension lowered 1". I set them to max negative camber. Make a mark on them in the fully extended position so it's easier to see before you assemble everything tightly. Fully extended, they will give you just enough negative camber with the stock suspension for spirited street driving, without giving you strange tire wear. If you are building a track car, they don't have enough adjustment to be useful. On the street, I feel they have made an improvement in tire wear and handling.

dandyZ Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 In addition to adjuting camber, do they help with toe in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the best approach? Adjustible bushings or performance camber Kit? DandyZ: Ran into the same situation after installing shortened rear struts. Am using MSA adjustable rear inboard aluminum ADJUSTABLE bushings. Need to readjust them again. These adjustable bushings (you need to purchase the wrenches also) are manufactured as adjustable eccentrics. It appears that the front bushings need to be adjusted all the way outward and the rears almost all the way inboard in order to reduce positive camber and put toe-in to its smallest value. Requires purchasing the adjustable bushings and 2 each wrenches for same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
