Chip:
Just did this. Before you do anything, replace the rubber bushings in
the trailing arms.
Use a GOOD gear puller (not a $10 cheapie) to press out and press in the new
bushings. This
will resolve 1/2 or more of your problem, and noticeably improve the ride.
I would recommend the uprated rubber bushings from the Roadster Factory if you
want to enhance
the suspension. The aluminum packing spacers are really a band aid (although
they help) and
were used by dealers to correct the problem.
Then mix and match the brackets to your liking. I simply swapped the
inner and outer
brackets, and ended up with about 1/2 to 1 degree of positive camber with the
car unloaded, and
near zero camber with me in the car. Just about right.
Cheers,
Vance

Subject: Negative Camber Repair
Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased a TR6 and I have a few things to attend to on it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to repair the negative camber
on my rear wheels? The springs look new, frame looks good, and lever
shocks are new. Should I start with the aluminum packing spacers or go
right into swapping brackets. The wheels are pretty evenly titled in on
top (about 3-4 degrees I estimate). Thanks for your input.
