I recently had an issue with getting the rear camber on one side below -2.6 and wanted to ask the hive mind what it might be.
I've been using a local alignment shop and when we rolled the car on the rack the right rear camber was at -2.7. The left rear was -2ish. Prior to the event I had been running -2.5 with .2 degrees of toe in per side. This was after some track days so I assumed it had slipped (and it was pulling slightly to the right which tipped me off).
The left rear aligned fine after redoing the eccentric bolts, but the right rear wouldn't go below -2.6 camber. I normally sit in the car so the alignment is correct while I'm on track, but for this one I got out and tried tweaking it a bit on my own just to see if I could get some back. It still stayed at -2.6 with the eccentric all the way in the low camber setting while the other side was at -2.5 with the eccentric in the mid setting. Toe came out ok at least.
The car is lowered on H&R springs, but is stock otherwise for suspension.
I haven't had it checked on another rack to see if it's something wonky with that rack, but I did roll the car back and forth a few times on that specific one (and it was fine before) so I don't suspect the alignment machine itself. Eyeballing the wheels/tires also looks reasonable. I've gotten under it and looked at subframe bushings along with everything else and nothing appears bent or shifted.
So my question is, has anyone had an issue where rear camber won't go low enough? If so, was it a bent arm or something moved? I'm fine doing the next round of track days at -2.6 on one side and -2.5 on the other, but I'd like to get the range back so I can test lower camber settings if I want.
