Best Answer

It is a critical component of the rear suspension which GM charges 500 to 700 because a set of bushings go bad. You can replace them by pressing out the old and pressing in new replacements from an Auto Parts dealer.

How do you adjust the rear camber on a metro geo?

The factory service manual states that rear camber is not adjustable; only the rear toe is adjustable via the control rods. However, worn rear suspension parts can throw off the camber, including (but not limited to) worn suspension arm bushings (also called a "control arm"; the "control rod" is a separate part). Worn knuckle-to-suspension-arm bushings can also cause camber misalignment, as well as loose struts not fastened properly to the knuckle.
