16" Syncro : Posotive Camber on rear wheels

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi
My 16" Syncro has positive camber on both rear wheels, about the same on each. Not measured it yet  but it's very very noticeable, makes it appear like it has swinging arms that pivot about the  centerline of the vehicle like my pinzgauer used to have.

It's defo' running stock 16" suspension at the front, also at the rear as far as I know. Used to be a factory high top ambulance but now has very high roof and a camper conversion. Ride height looks quite high at the rear, possibly a tad low looking at the front (even with new front springs and bushes). 

Before I start trying to make more effort to undo the tight swinging arm bolts and investigate I'd be interested to know if this is a common problem. I'd have thought that the way the arms are loaded would tend to make any bush wear result in negative camber?

Thanks for any responses ...

cheers
