Default DIY Rear Camber Adjustment???

Well today I was adjusting my toe, and got it perfect...now that rear camber bolt is really hard to get at, any one got any tips?

Please don't tell me to get a professional alignment...I got my fronts perfect, and the rears just need a little more negative camber.

i used a breaker bar to loosen the bolts holding the camber arms together. u need another socket to hold the nut while the breaker bar loosens the bolt. once they're loosen, u can twist the silver semi circle looking thing and u should be able to adjust rear camber by doing that.

do you turn it all the way to the left or right for maxed out camber?

hmmm, i really dont remember. but if u have the rear of the car jacked up, and u twist and play with the bolt, u should see the wheel physically move negative or positive camber. keep in mind, take note, or take a picture of where the silver camber adjustment thing is at just in case you forget.

Actually, if you can wait till tomorrow, I'll try to see if I can go to my bros house and make a video of adjusting rear camber. Since so many people are asking how to do it, mind as well make one. My rear cambers are Maxxed out right now already but I guess I'll have to remove them and install them again for the video.

Oh the fronts are like a billion times easier. Go to eBay and search ingal camber bolts for a scion tc. Click on any of them. Scroll down and there should be a video of how to adjust them. they're super easy. It's just a hassle trying to hold the actual bolt while you tighten the nut. Having a helping hand would really be good, at least in my experience.
