Since putting the 17's on my car, the inner edges on the rear tyres have worn down considerably quicker than the rest of the tread, so I am thinking that I am running excessive negative camber on the rear. My old Legacy used to do this but you could buy a camber correcting kit for about £15 whereby you could adjust the camber to suit.

Having read through the results that came up when I did a search for camber, it would seem that there is a way of adjusting the rear camber on the 406's as standard. Does anyone know how to do this, as those tyres would cost a fortune to replace, and if I can adjust the camber so it runs on the rest of the tyre too, then I've got thousands of miles left on them.

So then all, who knows how to adjust the camber on the rear wheels and fancies explaining it?

It's adjusted on the top link.



The top bolt has a cam on it to adjust the camber.

Mark the position of the bolt head, then undo the nut and adjust the bolt until you have it where you want it, then do the same on the other side.

By the way, anyone thinking of changing these link rods (I have mine to do shortly), be sure to mark the position of the bolt before you undo the nut, so that you can fit the bolt back in the same position, making sure you don't move the camber setting.
