I have never seen any for them, you are right though the camber cannot be altered on the rear.

It can be done, but it depends on how much money and axles you want to lob at it to get camber

How do you do it then?? When i've had the wheels and everything off the stub pin and arm are solid, so how do you change the camber?

Im sure you cant adjust anything on the rear, its all set solid.
The only thing i could think of to change the camber/caster is to bend the stub pin, but that seems stupid to me.

I was refering to the front so it gives the steering more weight and feel

You would have to redesign the entire rear arms, one could be they are twisted but that may not be safe
Another could be machining out the rear stub so it has camber in the arms

But then the bearings and stuff wouldnt fit on properly would they?
Sounds very dodgy to me either way, id leave it alone.

Mate, i aint done it and frankly i aint trying it
Hence why i say YOU NEED A LOT OF MONEY, custom arms and bearings would be needed, not a simple case of machining out
