Front camber HELP?
« on: April 26, 2014, 10:26:20 am »
Iv been driving around for about 8 months with a slanted steeing wheel. Iv gone to get 4 wheel allignment done today and have found out that

N/S front is 20' neg
O/S front is 10-10 neg

So the O/S front i to far negative, does anyone know how toadjust it of if i have to buy any sort of shims?

Iv checked to see if anything is bent, the are no stress marks and all look true.

Please help

The only way to adjust front camber (unless you have adjustable top mounts) is to drop the subframe slightly and move it sideways until  you have best optimised the settings, then tighten it up.

Most alignment places wouldn't think to do this so they typically fob you off saying it's not adjustable
