Title: 1970 Deville Camber adjustment
Post by: colorado4x4 on June 27, 2025, 10:53:07 PM
My 1970 Deville is showing signs of wearing the inside side of the tire on the passenger side of the car only. Which I understand is negative camber. 

Which way do I need to turn the camber eccentric to give it more positive camber.....counterclockwise or clockwise? and how much of a turn should it be.....1/8 of turn, 1/4 turn or some other measurement?   

FSM says + 3/8 degree to  - 3/8 degrees adjustment max either way....what does that compute to in terms of turning the eccentric ???

The FSM says the "final position of the joint stud should be in the rear portion of the camber eccentric in order to keep steering arm angle correct"  Does that mean that the side of the eccentric in which the stud hole is closest to the edge should be towards the rear of the car?

Just remember, making any adjustment to that eccentric also changes the caster. Best to find an alignment shop in the area that has knowledge of these cars.
