    Question driver side rear wheel IRS alignment

    my passenger rear IRS setup looks good, seems to be tracking well

    I played with the driver side as it's got positive camber and trying to determine what's the best method to get things 'aligned' again

    I see there are 2 main adjustments:
    1. the upper control arm, pushes/pulls the wheel/tire inward/outward
    2. the lower toe arm, pushes/pulls the bottom of the wheel/tire


    both of these together I believe can affect caster and thrust angles (correct me if wrong here)

    I believe the length of the upper arm can also affect how much the tire camber is affected, but length is only adjustable if you remove from the rod end

    in the manual it shows these distances

    upper control arm


    toe-arm


    how close did you guys find that these lengths were? I need to re-measure to be honest, it's been a while since I assembled the rear...

    here's my current pics, car is on jacks so i will skew the angles

    rear wheel angled inward (not straight)
