The positive camber was not so much of an issue on the IRS beetles... AGAIN... this car is a swing axle... the US imported beetles switched to IRS in 69 (68 on autostick versions). On the swingaxles, the axles and trans are all one unit and unsprung... so for instance if you were to hit a bump... the whole car will then lift up and the wheels on both sides will tuck similar to that of the picture of my car (not on jack stands, but a jack ;-)) which can allow for the car to roll in extreme circumstancesOriginally Posted by KustomBuildz
FOUND!
So when a car with IRS like the beetle or Ranger(IFS) are sitting level with 0 camber and they go over a bump... do you say they change camber while driving???? I would measure camber as a relative changed adjustment, but not by simply jumping up and down on the car would I say you are changing camber.
Technically?? I guess.. $0.02
On the later IRS cars, they are no longer one unit, the suspension and cv axles are independent and there is less chance of positive camber
