A friend and I were talking about rear camber adjustment on the mustang. I'm pretty sure there isn't any but he was saying that he had never heard of not having any. Do we or not?
in all seriousness, Ive actually heard of this, but Im not sure how its actually mechanically possible, it just doesnt add up you know? lolIf you bend the tube WTF happens with the axle inside? LOL

Or the axle bearings.
well keep in mind that there is a very minor amount of play in the splines of the axle and the center section - it may be a very minute amount when measured at the axle a 1/2" from the diff, but if you measure it all the way at the end of the axle then that minute amount increases quite a bit. what your doing is bending the axle tube where it runs into the center section of the housing, so say a 3/8" bend at the end of the axle tube would equate to say .5* negative camber. so your misaligning the axle ever so slightly so that the wheel flange of the shaft 3/8" higher than it would be. again, that's 3/8" measured at the end of the axle, with the center section being the fulcrum. so, the axle shaft isn't bending over it's length to give you the camber, your just using up what little play there is in the spline engagement at the diff end(i'm sure i'm sounding repetitive, but i'm trying here:lol1.in all seriousness, Ive actually heard of this, but Im not sure how its actually mechanically possible, it just doesnt add up you know? lol
yep, that's it! you can get almost 1* of angle out of the slop!That's wild man. So basically it is relying on slop in the axle splines.
