I think you should try it.
We been using it with no problem even for rear suspension ( with 4.5 - 5 deg camber), means only 3/4 (threaded part) part is threaded to arm.

I believe if you use use -4 to -5 camber, your trackwidth exceed beyond 200 mm a lot with the stock upper rear arms. What I do is I modify the rear upper arms to shorten it so that I can still use -3 camber under 200 mm (198 mm actually).
The rear pivot ball threading also need not be exposed too much.

Just once i ever seen it popes out from the fc blocks(in front) after hard slamming in brick wall, but its still hold up well in the both arms.

I must try this..Actually I did the 5deg. camber with optional 8mm wheel hub.
Only works in touring post, track width is almost 200mm
Doesnt work in lola style, coz the wheel is scrubbing the mounting arm.

The other thing that I do not like about narrower hex wheel adapters is that it makes the thread of the drivecup where the wheel nut goes in to be exposed a lot. Very susceptible to breakage if you happen to hit it directly. Happened once to me.

Perhaps your aluminum shock body where the shock shaft hole is located is loose due to wear... Does this happen to all your aluminum shock bodies?

But when I try it myself for 2 RR alu body with TRY#90 shock oil, yes ! it bleeds trough the shaft in the morning. Then I replace it with the red ones and it was doing fine till now.
And trully I have not try do it again.
