Camber correction plates with drum brakes
Hi.
First time posting.
I am trying to install these on my lowered 1982 Sierra 2.0L.

Instructions say "mounted between the axle and hub" and "Can be mounted on vehicles with disc or drum brakes on the rear axle."
Should they me mounted between the arm and the drum backplate or between the backplate and bearing carrier?
they don't fit in the first scenario, and in my mind the second scenario would put an angle between the brake shoes and the drum, no?
I've tried searching, maybe there's something here I don't understand.

Take the hub off and they go behind the hub,between the bearing and hub. dont forget the left hand thread on one of the driveshafts( cant remember which one lol)

No I don't have any pictures. But like you said yourself, if you put them in between the bearing housing and the brake backplate the brake drum will be on an angle relative to the brake shoes which isn't the way it should be.

I figured it out. The problem was the correction plate didn't fit inside the brake backplate. Backplate curves a bit, kinda wraps around the arm where they are mounted. I just trimmed the plates, cut off the corners basically. Regret not taking pictures now...

Nice that you fixed it. I guess most of the plates are used in combination with disc brakes, in which case you wouldn't have the problem, as the splash guards on disc brakes are not curved towards the arm.
