How to fix my excessive rear camber?

[monoaural]

My 84 eta has a huge amount of negative camber on the rear, and has gotten worse now that it is lowered (on eibach springs, if that matters). The tires I just pulled off of it, were severely worn on the inside 1.5 inch. What parts do I need? Its a daily, so I really dont need any adjustablity, just for it to not eat up tires. I have searched and searched, and can't figure out what I need.

The semi-trailing arm E30 suspension produces negative camber and toe-out when lowered. Most guys live with it & gripe about the tires. Fixable if you have the budget.

Go to "suspension" & scroll down to "rear camber adjustment kit" Weld-in only:

When a BMW is lowered the rear suspension gains camber. Often you end up with too much camber. This kit consists of 2 sets of eccentrics and slotted brackets. Brackets are welded to the inboard trailing arm pickup points and eccentrics allow you to adjust camber. Removal of rear subframe, welding and some grinding is required. This kit fits most BMW's with rear trailing arms including E30,E30M3, E9, E24, E28, Z3's, and E36 318ti. One kit does both sides. Please speecify model and year. We also offer similar kit for toe adjustment. Most racers will want both. Picture shows 2 kits for illustration.

But what would cause it to do it when it was stock height? It was readily visible amount of camber. I know I shouldn't modify something that is broken, but I had time, and came across a good deal on the springs/shocks.

Have the trailing arm bushings been replaced? If they are worn you can wind up with excessive camber.

Thats what I need! Now that I looked under there, its fairly obvious they are worn. Thanks.

If the trailing arm bushing need replacement, it would be a safe bet to say that you also need new subframe bushings. And if the car has significant mileage on it, it may benefit from new rear wheel bearings. Combining all of those repairs makes sense from a labor cost point of view.
