Rear camber & trailing arms.

[jlevie]

The design on the suspension is such that negative camber will increase as the suspension is compressed (or if you lower the ride height). Worn RTABS, or bent trailing arms can yield excessive camber, even with normal ride height. A "slammed" car will have excessive camber, period!

Urethane RTABs will yield the same camber as fresh OE parts, so you can't gain anything that way. There are solutions that will reduce rear camber but the best of those require mods to the trailing arm attach points.

Ok, recently I've been trying to figure out why is it that the wheels negative camber in so much under load with trailing arms. I'd like to basically have as little camber as possible in the back. So my two questions:

1-) How exactly does the trailing arm cause more camber under load?

and

2-) Will stiffer (polyurethane/solid) T/A bushings help solve this?

Thanks,
Erick
