Default question on rear wheels

I have a 1966 corvette and the rear wheels seem to camphor in at the top. The drivers side a little more than the passengers side. I see adjustment bars underneath. Can anyone give me any tips on this? Thanks, Gary

Welcome to the form. To adjust the camber, there is a eccentric cam located on the inner end of each strut rod. If I recall correctly, the camber spec is a negative 1/8 degree for the rear wheels. In order to get enough room for your wrench, the rear end has to be up in the air on jack stands. The car has to be lowered back down after the adjustment is made for checking the camber. Be sure to roll the car or drive it a short distance in order to settle the suspension out before you check the rear camber. Once you get the adjustment in spec, be sure to torque the camber bolt. I recommend getting a factory service manual from Helm Incorporated or off of ebay.
