Camber vs. Toe

[BBO Omega]

My car has a very typical suspension. 1973 Omega (think Nova or 1st Gen Camaro). What is the direct affect on the Toe setting when the Camber is Changed. If I would like to add some Camber for a day of Autocross or Open Track abuse, do I need to realign the whole front end?

I'm guessing it's rear steer, if it's front steer, the reverse will be true. With a rear steer IFS, increasing negative camber will add toe "in". - this is not what you want on an auto-x day. Here's a guess tip. Add 1/4" of shim to each upper arm bolt (appx 1/2* - camber), then, turn each tie rod adjuster 1 full rotation to add toe 'out' (make the rod shorter) Have a fun day. this is an easy set=up to turn back to street use.

The 1st gen Camaro/Nova front end is a rear steer but the outer tie rod end is below the lower ball joint. If you change camber in the negative direction, the wheels will toe out slightly.
