Rear camber problems

Hey guys,

I have converted my 97 LSC to coils from air and the shop couldn't get the positive camber out of the drivers rear. It was +4.4 deg. I replaced the knuckle bushings and the UCA bushings along with the upper arms. Now it sits at +2.2 deg, am I missing something?

the upper inner bushings are an eccentric.
make sure they know this.
i had to remind my alignment shop of this and have them put the car back on the rack.

OK, I've been messing with this for awhile now. Replaced knuckle and control arm bushings as well as the drivers side control arm. It still has +2.2 degrees camber when adjusted all the way in. No obvious damage that I can see, what else can cause this?

Where did you take it? Ive had a shop tell me they cant do it to mine for similar reasons and they told me it had been in a wreck. Took it to ford and they did it with no problems

Do you still have air ride the car should be running and air ride switch on while alignment is performed .

find another alignment shop. They aren't following OUR comments...you are.
many alignment machines have inaccurate adjustment instructions and do not show how the UCA eccentric bushing adjusts.
They look for the eccentric washer, dont see one, so they leave it alone. Insist that they loosen the UCA inner bolt and rotate it so the bushing rotates inside the UCA and watch their eyes glitter with excitement and new-found knowledge.

I've seen cars with completely failed/slammed air suspension that still were almost in spec after adjusting rear camber. SLAMMED.
