I remember HellBug had an advert with an ajuster that they fitted to the spring plate of IRS spring plates.

In my mind I would think that they would have to be like an offset cam that moves the diagonal arm
forward and backward, and also up and down in relation to the spring plate.

Some Porsche's had these I believe, but that is hearsay.

Any one know or have a photo?

I would like to square up my camber at the rear just a tad, without changing the ride height.

Hi Dave

All IRS rear ends have adjustable toe & camber, the kit that Geof sold just made it easier to adjust. To get maximum postive camber you just loosen the bolts that secure the trailing arm to the sring plate and lift the trailing arm up with a kack under the shock tower. Looking at the top of the spring plate and trailing arm you should end up with a shallow V. I had steel 944 arms on my old yellow bug.

Thanks Steve and Malcom.

In Steves photos it has the slot for the camber adjuster in the spring plate.
and the large round hole in the trailing arm, but no actual adjuster.
Is that correct?

Hi Dave

Looking at the spring plate in the right bottom of the photo, the horizontal slot is for toe and there is a special offset bolt that fits in there and also serves as a securing bolt. The extra vertical hole in the spring plate and arm is were a special Porsche tool fits in only when doing camber adjustments/alignments. Dave Stocker made me one out of peice of hex brass rod, it just has an offset crankpin on it that fits into the vertical slot.
