I've finally gotten around to measuring the rear camber on the 250. I used
Nelson's technique listed on the Buckeye website.
Before I list the results, I should mention that the frame where the
trailing arms attach are in good shape, it has 2 year old stock springs,
poly spring seats, Nylatron swing arm bushings, a rear sway bar, and is
running the factory bracket setup for a 250 (outer bracket is 2 notch up and
inner bracket is 1 notch up- 2U1U).
I found a -1.6 camber on the passenger side and a +0.58 on the drivers side.
So the drivers side is well within the recommended +1 to -0.25. Both
readings need to be reconfirmed as I read Nelson's instructions after I took
the measurements and did not confirm with subsequent moving and
re-measuring.
However, based on the above and the bracket table by Brian Lanoway, it looks
like I need to swap out the passenger side outer bracket (2-notch up) for a
3 notch in the up configuration. This however will give the passenger side a
-0.3 ride height relative to the drivers side. Is that a problem and will it
be noticeable? Is it odd or a problem that I will be running different
bracket configurations on either side of the car?
Thanks,
Peter
