rear camber adjustment

<< < (4/5) > >>

jimmy-s3:
I didnt fit the coilovers myself no. So im unsure of how and why the rear alignment is out. Ive fitted 215/40/18's to try and pull the sidewalls in abit, but to be honest its the passenger side of the car where the wheels rub??

I would follow Pazz advice and go and get a full alignment check sounds strange.  :happy2:

jabbalad:
as others have said, take it to somewhere that has wheel alignment tools,
The cam bolts don't take much to move the wheel quite lot (they adjust in the range of +.07 to -4 iirc)
the bolt Jonny mentioned adjusts the tow of the wheel, there is another cam bolt on the inner mounting of the top arm, but its a right barstuard to get to!

Are you sure?!  :surprised:  :rolleye:

That is insane for a stock part to allow that much adjustment. -4 degree's is crazy negative camber.

EDIT:

For reference Jimmy you are looking for somewhere that does this or has a system with the same level of detail.

pazz:
I've stolen the pic from google images.

Funny to see that it says he has "abnormal front tyre wear".

Which will probably be down to the -1 degree 08' camber running on the left front.

The rear end looks a bit of a mess camber wise too.
