new rucas, floating feeling?

[tramp_drift240]

I just installed some new adjustable upper control arms in the rear, and since the alighnment lift i use had something wrong with it, i used a level and tried to estimate the right camber.

i have it a little more negative than zero, though im not sure how exact.

would not having enough negative camber cause my car to feel like the rear end's on ice or something? it just seems to me that the tail end is more...wobbly or something. its hard to describe.

anyone have any kind of help?

I think I understand what you are saying. The short answer is yes and no. It is better to run some negative camber as long as A) it is not too excessive and B) is equal on both sides. You can eyeball camber, in fact a friend of mine used a laser level and a carpenters square once just to show he could do it. However, I dont think camber is your problem. I think your toe is off. If the rear end feels squirrely or twitchy (basically wanders) you may want to check your toe in/out. If the car is lowered more than 1 3/4" you will need a more comprehensive alignment than just camber adjustment.

+1 for toe issues. Too much toe out will make it feel really "floaty" in the rear and it doesn't take a large amount to do this. Any chance you hit up a few other bolts while you were down there?
