« on: February 13, 2016, 07:16:57 pm »
Im currently running alloy s3 wishbones and hubs on my car i was wondering if i could use the oem tt ball joints to be able to adjust the camber with my current set up?

Thats great has anybody run this setup? How much degrees negative camber is adjustable? Ive read to not set it anymore than 2 degrees.

I reckon a competent four wheel aligner will be able to sort the camber out as mine was done by a company in Birmingham called Lodge Tyres and he knew his stuff when it came to this.

No you can't. TT ball joints only fit on TT arms. You'd need aftermarket ball joints like Superpro to go on the S3 arms.

You can get up to about 2.3 degrees negative camber. I used to have this setup but swapped it out to the S3/Superpro setup as the TT Arms gave a bit too much extra track
