i came out of my drive way the other day and found out the hard way that there was black ice all over the place. anyway i hit my drivers side rear rim on the curb and cracked the rim alittle. now it has some nice positive chamber. i took it all apart yesterday and nothing seems broken. i dont know how to adjust the chamber on my BE. does anyone know how to? i do have chamber bolts, they arent installed. where would they go?

The camber bolts fit into the upper strut bolt hole and rotate to act as a cam and puth the upright one way or another.
Bends in control arms can be very slight and hardly noticable even by an enthusiast. My suggestion is to get the car on a jack, slightly loosten the strut bolts and see if you can push the wheel and upright back into a neutral camber location while a buddy tightens them down. After that, take it to a local tire shop and have it looked at by a professional.

The camber on the rear of a BE is slightly different because of the multi-link. The adjustment bolt is the inner bolt (towards the center) on the lower link (the one where that rubber cone-shaped bumpstop would hit up against at full compression).
