Camber should be adjusted via the Lower A Arm on the rear. I wouldn't think Shims would work there. It's not like the xb's with the solid rear axle where you can just shim between the brake drum and wheel hub.

Would the factory RUCA be able to adjust camber more than +/- 2 degrees?

You'd need to but an adjustable one. Megan makes one, and there is another company that makes them as well, but I'd try to get a Megan Racing one. I seen some quality issues from other parts of the other company.

I do believe some bet that he could bend it over his knee, and did.

I bought the first one available here on this site before megan was available. It looks simular to megan but the welds are far better ad overall stronger. I do own megan struts. I wouldnt race with them since the welds are horrible just like everything else they make. MEgan is great for daily driver like me. I wouldnt race with them

From what I've seen, TB looks to be the better brand compared to Megan Racing.

LOL stenger what r u on ? Shim between the drum and wheel hub. So what ur rims look warped as hell when u drive. U would shim between where the wheel bearing assembly bolts on not between wheel and drum. Unless your looking for a cat in the hat type ride quality lol.

yeah, was at a loss for technical words apparently. There are none of these to stick between the do-hicky and the thing-a-majig.

Been eager to lower my car and feel i need to RUCA's so i can align it immediately.
I looked at TB performance's website and saw no mention of the arms under thier tC listings.
I'm skeptical about the welds on those Megan parts.

I did hear that they were thinking of stopping production of them. I am not sure if they have stopped making them or just out of stock and working on other projects. Can't hurt to send them an email.

I got mine in february from megan and i do alot of spirited driving, so i do try to push my suspension to the limit and have yet to have issues with the megan racing ones

here on the weekend im gonna take a look at them and see if there is any issues with the welds but im not hearing any noises so far

I have had my car lowered for a while now with -2 camber in the rear and havent had much problems with it at all. I would like to get that camber more neutrol. Anybody used the Megan racing rear camber adjustments? Are they any good?

im using them currently and not seeing any issues as of yet. My rear driver side still needs an adjustment which i might fix this weekend but my rear passanger side is neutral or pretty damn close but it has been tighted down and havent noticed any loosening from it so not much issues and im rough on my car when driving lol
