Default Rear Axle camber issues

So im trying to run Extreme camber on my is and i ran into this issue with my axle being shoved in as in the picture. Has anybody ran alot of negative camber on a is before? Not sure how to do it if my axles cant handle it.

You talking about the boot being scrunched up?

As body goes down, the wheel goes up and this gets better. How low is it and what kind of camber does it have?

You might try w a new band clamp and cut the inner boot clamp, slide it a bit and see if it helps. Apply new clamp when done.

FWIW I take zero responsibility for anything that happens if that option is used.

well running anything extreme will cause issues with other things too, like tire wear but you've made your bed.

in my opinion the axle looks fine, just the boot is pushed in more and will eventually wear out. is anything binding? any noise heard from the driver's seat?
