Rear Wheel Camber

[Brawley M.]

When viewed from the rear, the top inner aspect of my rear tires are canted excessively towards the centerline of the car. Should I rotate the camber adj cam bolt towards (CCW on pass side, CW on drivers side) its respective wheel so as to shorten the throw on the strut rod (and draw the top inner surface of the wheel more vertically). Will this correct the camber issue or am I wrong? Insights appreciated. Brawley

That's frequently a symptom of deteriorated strut rod bushings; if that's the case, the cam bolt won't have enough remaining eccentric "throw" to restore the correct camber.
