Pulled the rear end out after work yesterday. Not only is the weld broken from the housing but the housing is also broken. That damn cambering job Tony did has cost me plenty in track time and money. Cost me a whole Hallett weekend.

Gosh, you can't even make your own list? Or do you just not know what to put on it?
Everything points to someone not knowing what they were doing and trying to add camber with physical force. Either that or it was never cambered intentionally but was rather in a wreck that broke the tube to housing attachment. The latter seems the most likely.
You aren't likely to see (or feel) any real performance difference for cambering a rear end within the CMC limits. But, lots of little things do add up to a performance benefit. Rear camber would be just one of those little things. For perspective, it's a lot less work than moving the rear axle 1" forward on an AI car.

I agree Tony did not know what he was doing. He told me how much work it was but how it was really worth it. They did use a press. When I had it out last time the right side did not have any camber in it and the axle pushed right in. On the left side I had to beat the axle in with a hammer.
