Alright so I already know the effects that negative camber in the rear can cause but this car is no longer a daily driver. I'm trying to get about a 5-7 degree negative camber without bending the rear beam. What would be the best way to do this. Yes I know the rear camber isn't adjustable but is there anyway to do this. Google is no help today.

Thank, Rick

alot of guys with rear beams use shims behind the hub to get camber in the rear.

Where exactly behind the hub, on which bolt?

You can't change the negative camber on the rear of the 4th/5th gens unless your bending something, cutting/welding the beam up, or replace the beam with IRS.

The shim trick only works if the rear hubs were removable, VWs with rear beams and removable hubs are a good example. You can shim some VWs for rear toe/camber adjustment. On the maxima beam the hubs are part of the beam and only the wheel bearings are removable, so they can't be shimmed.

So nothing is adjustable and you don't want to bend the beam. Good luck!

beam bending party.

5-7 deg of camber is just stupid.. if you do that, you're going to kill yourself.
on my dedicated track car I only run -3.5 and that's still a ton of camber.

but no, you can't adjust tow or camber on a 4/5 gen without bending the rear beam.

Is there any available instruction on how to bend the rear beam ? Not that I necessarily want to do that but I'm curious to see how they do that.

I'm not to sure what this quote & no answer mean, but I guess I have to take it with humour...

I think when people reference "bending the rear beam" they mean taking out the factory 1 degree of toe in. Setting the beam to 0 toe improves the oversteer situation significantly, or so I've read. Bending the beam has nothing to do with camber, but toe.

I know that doesn't really answer your question, but that's all I got. I think Joe (98SEBlackMax) has his beam bent. Maybe he can chime in.
