I have genuine JIC Magic rear camber arms (Painted black) in a R33 GTS-t on a weird angle. I've tried swapping them side to side but still no go. Had to use a screw driver to lever them on and that screams wrong to me. Im starting to think these are for another model of car. They have been on for about 5000kms

Ever since they have been in the rear seams to be really twitchy at hwy speeds. Alignment is -1deg camber and 1mm toe in. I just finished installing subframe collars and the rear is behaving now at speed but i still don't like that angle.

Well, you're right. There is a lot of load being put into the bushes. What does it look like at the inner end?

I note that you still have standard radius/caster arms on there. That could cause you some grief. Whether it's significant or not will probably depend on why you installed the camber arms. Did you do it to wind in some neg camber, or did you do it to get rid of excessive neg camber? If the latter, then lengthening the camber arms would probably have been best done whilst also lengthening the radius arms. They both work to affect camber on the rear. You have to close your eyes and imagine what happens to the hub location and angle as you lengthen and shorten those arms. If the radius arms are too short then it will pull the front of the hub around inwards, and could work to create that angle at the camber arm outer end.

Camber was something thing stupid like -3 deg before the arms went in :(

Those pics are with no load (jack under diff) Lowered to the ground with wheels on it's not really noticeable on the passenger side but the drivers is. From what I've read the traction arm does'nt need to be changed when doing camber? I think i might get another set of camber arms, bung them in at the same length and see.
