Angry Help, can't find anyone to fix my camber!

I just got the car back with H&Rs, tires and rims...now the rear end shimmies when I first hit the gas and first let off. From my review of other posts and a few of my own it looks like camber is the issue....

. . .but I cannot find anyone in Vegas to check it out to tell me I need a kit or not, let alone install one.

You definitely need a camber kit. K-Mac's kit is way too expensive and doesn't allow for a ton of adjustment. Contact Mark Cummins on the board. He knows someone who makes adjustable rear camber arms.

Adjustable rear camber arms

Contact Jeff who goes by username speedybenz.

His camber arms are easy to install, then take it to an aligment shop.

don't send him pm as he doesn't get those. Best bet would be to e-mail him

speedyafm2@aol.com

and be patient as he also has a "real" job and just happens to make these in his spare time(what little he has). No worries though, as they are worth the wait, and worth way more than the cash.
