hi does anybody know where I can get a set of wedges to change the rear camber on a sierra cosworth backaxle I have fitted to a p100 at the moment to get it to sit at the right ride height its runing 3 degrees of camber would like to get it back to pretty much standard
I have seen them for sale on e bay
have also been told some people use washers but dont fancy doing it that way

Mike Rainbird sells camber shims. £10 i think or so.

Any local alignment shop will have them on hand when they do up you car.

They are normally used for toe correction on the really crappy sierra back end, but could be used for camber if fitted at top instead of rear on hub.
You could also just use a thin strip of metal to do the same.

Ive heard of these but ive never seen them before.

I ran 3 1/2 degrees on my mk1 hatch, with totally normal tyre wear, as it's the toe that kills inner edges.

I prefer a half tank of gas, me in it and the alignment shop making the rear end zero in all respects. I just like how my stick rear beam works when zero'd.

Taps

U was lucky then, having the outside of the tyre not touching would point to me that the inner edge might wear out quicker.



The shims correct the camber and if you look closely they alter the track as well alter one your alter the other

tabetha

If the shims(pictured) are on a purely flat angle, and do not have two angles it depends where you fit them as to what they alter.
I only know my camber was 3 1/2 as that is what it was measured at at Elite.

i stuck 2 washer into the top bolt holes to correct the inner wear problem years and years ago

this was before the discovery of geomerty

i could do with some of those for a few of mine

baz walton

the rear plate part of the wishbones is quite week, i slammed mine square on and bent it right in



it will have to be re-made at some point, but for a quick agricultural fix, a couple of washers straightened her out

I'm guessing scorpio?

4X4V6SIERRA

yes the last scorpios 94-99,does anyone know if the rear axles off these cars fit sierra's?

dojj

iTrader: (3)

don't know where the reply has gone but...

not a direct fit as there are more bits and bobs in the way, but they are similar

deffo not fit for the front end swap as the suspension gemetry is all different with wishbones at the front rather than tcas etc

Drunken Master

Totally agree, running 2.5 on my car. And the outer edges seem to still be wearing more, bring on the castor...

I fitted some of these to my saph and they mad a difference. I got mine of eBay. I think I only paid about 30 quid.

Paul Mcgill

i seen some on ebay for about 30 quid but when i askd him about them he said there just 3mm plates not wedges so i dont no how they would work if there not tapperd

If there just 3mm plates there more like a spacer than camber plates.
