help with rear camber adjustment please!

[crc13]

I just put new rims and tires on my 1995 m3. I have rolled the fenders but I think I have to put some camber into the rear. I have attached a picture of the underneath the car. I purchased this car with these on, can I adjust them for some camber? How do I go about doing this? Any input would be very helpful!IMG_2006.JPG

You want to make that camber arm longer which in turn will push the bottom of your wheel out, you’re also going to be adding a little bit of toe when you do that so try to go as little as possible

so will the top come in at all?

Yes.

do I turn the top or the bottom nut? Sorry for the questions!

You want to loosen both nuts and then turn the rod, One side is reverse threaded.

Adding camber will also add toe-in. Bring it to a shop with an alignment rack to adjust properly

Right. You can do quick and dirty adjustment at home, but if you want everything right for long-term performance and tire wear you should take it to a shop with an alignment rack.

The rear suspension on these cars is such that ride height, camber, and toe are all interconnected in certain ways. Changing ride height will add/remove camber as well as slightly alter toe, and changing camber will also slightly alter toe.
