Has anyone ever adjusted rear camber on there beams.

[FRSJON]

is it possible??.. ..not 100% on this but im sure i read that jimmy added some camber to my rear beam when it was shortened...

[luca]

Anythings possible...

Just wondered if what how when someone has done this already before I look into it further

[FRSJON]

well with your wallet i suppose it is.... .. sure theres a post about for a group buy on adjustable beams??

[luca]

I was thinking of a big hammer

[FRSJON]

not sure on the strength of it but could you not shim the rear hubs ??

This is what im thinking at the mo mate with a selection of plates machined down to offer the desired camber.
-.5degree
-1degree
-1.5 degree shim

sounds good to me..

Sierra's suffer from excessive camber when lowered at the rear. One of the fixes is offset shims to counteract the effect. No reason why the same idea cant be applied to the Fiesta beam.

Good find fella

Something else to add to my list now

[Ruishy1]

did captain tightpants not make up a rear beam from a mondeo that was adjustable, and he said its not too difficult

[~S1~]

IMHO they look s**t! TBH I reckon you're better off to get an alignment check and then get some machined up locally to your required spec.

Are ESP still going, I heard they'd fallen victim to the credit crunch?

This is what i am looking at doing but for £16 if still available I can see how these work /adjust.
Bit strange being plastic... As the heat generated on track is far greater than road.

I would prefer something that the bolts slot through and the bolts them selves need to have shims too i would imagine due to the angle.

Use a thick washer and give it a bit of work with a soft-disc grinder or a linisher.

Ive cracked the code guys!



Will show my findings once i have had some fabricated and tested them.

I was going to say use washers... but someone beat me too it

I have an adjustable rose jointed rear beam from Zoo Motorsport. Havent fitted it yet though and I've had it over 2years now haha.

Should be fitting it soon as just stole the beam off the car it's intended for so i could fit it to my road car project.

Unless they did a different one the Zoo beams adjustment is only to get the beam aligned correctly, it wont adjust the camber. I looked at buying one but was very wary of their welding abilities so bought the hardware and fitted it to my own beam.

I've got an adjustable Zoo beam on mine. Been of for 4 years now with no problems. As Paul said its used just to get the rear wheels aligned properly with the fronts. Works well for its purpose.
