Now loosen the 3 bolts between the TA and SP. The new axis is along a line from where the 3 bolts are to the TA's inner pivot. This line is tilted opposite of the one above, so therefore camber changes are opposite.

and all though I havn't lowered my car yet, even with irs should you get a little bit of the neg camber.

The way I'm picturing this is; where ever the axis of rotation is to draw a mental perpendicular radius or moment arm to the point in question, then to following the arm as it rotations under a constant distance.

help please
