Cambered solid rearend

[wendell]

rat,

TLWiltman did a pretty good of explaining the relationship between rear camber and toe. To recap...

With the pinion angle at 0 and 1 degree of negative camber,the top of the tire is pointing towards the center line of the car in the verticle plane. If the pinion angle is at 90 degrees the pinion is pointing straight up your 1 degree of camber is now 1 degree of toe out(the rear edge of the tire is pointing at the center line of the car in the horizontal plane). If the pinion is further rotated to 180 degrees (pinion pointing at the rear of the car) your degree of negative camber is now 1 degree of posstive camber.

Because your truck arm rigidly mounts the axel, pinion angle will change as the suspension moves the axel up and down. Any change in pinion anlge will correspond to a change in the camber /toe relationship. Hope that helps.
