Post Camber adjustment on a Spyder
I have been trying to adjust the rear camber on my spyder but on reading the instructions for the adjustment I just cant understand how the camber is adjusted. I am using these instructions:

"Referring to the diagram and looking from the back of the car set the dimension five 550 millimetres on the driver’s side of the car from the face of the casting where the driver shaft protrudes to the centre nearest bolt on the bottom wishbone. To obtain this adjustment it is necessary to adjust only the bottom wishbone with the two locking nuts on the outside ball joint and then readjust the top wishbone to obtain the correct camber angle"

I am at a loss to identify the bolt on the bottom wishbone as I think there are 3 bolts where i think they are referring to, and I cant make out where the two locking nuts on the outside ball joint and where do I make the adjustment on the top wishbone? Can anyone help with some pics or drawing of the location of the mentioned nuts and bolts as I am tearing hair out trying to make sense of the instructions :x :x :x :x :x :x

Many thanks to anyone who can help

Brian

The instructions you are reading are for the original type of rear arms if these are the type you have google paul drawmer gtm libra suspension set up were you will find pictures and drawings of how to do it. The 550mm measurement I think is to give a starting point to get the correct distance between the rear wheels

Thanks Mark I will use that method to check my suspension, the wishbone ball joints that adjust the camber, are they the balljoints located at the bulkhead end of the wishbone and are they the two large nuts as in the photo?
