For bent housings? I have an issue I suspect these will correct. Assuming the 3 degrees is variable as you clock them in various positions the camber becomes caster and vise versa?

These are kinda new I think, nobody with feedback?
I have them, install was pretty straight forward. But mine are set up only for caster correction.

Do they have specific clocking increments or is it infinite?
Thanks for posting!

They have a single line in the top of the races for indexing, so technically infinite I guess. Not difficult to index parallel or perpendicular to the face of the ball but specific angles might be tricky.
Here is a comparison of the OE bearings vs the koyo's that come with the slee kit. You definitely sacrifice some size.

So it's just the outer bearing race thats eccentric? Thanks for those pics, I think I'll get a set.
Yep, the smaller bearing allows the hole to be offset in the race.
Slee also has a 1 degree if you don't need 3 degrees of correction, likely stronger (bigger bearing).

I'm actually, intentionally putting more neg camber on my truck at the knuckles. Short of intentionally bending the housing(because that would occur inboard of the birf joint and reak havic on the inner axle seal and alignment of it thru the axle housing). You can ride the limits of casters road handling and still steer nicely if you play with the arc of where caster and camber take you at the knuckle.
Something similar has been used in circle track cars to employ better steering, but I'm not really chasing the same thing. They actually bend the housings and sacrifice carrier bearing life in the diff. Not at all my intentions.

I can't say for sure, but judging by the thickness of the 1* races, the bearings look to be the same size as the ones in the 3* kit. That's just my thoughts after looking at the pictures of the kits.
Let us know how this goes, camber on a straight axle is not something usually messed with but all sports cars add camber.

Right. Just cut up the strut towers for a guy who's installing some slotted coilover mounting plates and ls3 in an old 240z
Sounds like a good experiment. Probably won't notice a lot of difference in a lifted 80 and you might get slightly faster tire wear on the inside edge necessitating more frequent rotations but if you use the 1 degree who knows might work great.

The street settings on my gtr were -1.4 to -1.51
The track settings were -1.44 to -1.75

They do what they say they do. The only issue is the bearing is smaller, so it could be argued they will not last as long. We have no long term data on that part. And yes, we have used them to introduce some camber for better handling and turning on lifted trucks.

how much camber is the max you measure Christo .. ( in those trucks you mention )
