I don't understand what you're getting at. The rear end of the spit is
swing axle. Rear camber is directly proportional to the ride height of
the car. Put on a stiffer spring, camber is affected positively. Load 5
greaseball mechanic buddies on the trunk for the victory lap and camber
is affected negatively.
If Margret's car has terminal negative camber, a spring that
increases the ride height will positively affect camber.
Also, the radius rod going to the x-member behind the seats pulls
the wheel hub forward as suspension deviates from center, causing
toe-in. So it is certainly in Margret's best interest to get the camber
worked out properly, so that the toe alignment will also be correct.
