Camber f*cked on one wheel

Recommended Posts

My Passenger front wheel Camber is way out. The top of the wheel points inwards and nearly touches the air box :)

 

How do I go about adjusting it? Or should I take it to a garage? :?

Not entirely no. I havent had a decent look yet. It was like it when I bought it a couple of months ago (I dint notice at first) and havent had chance to look properly yet. I know the guy I bought it from, and the car hasnt been damaged at all.

 

Its not as bad as previously said (taking the p*ss), but it is a few cm's out.

Stan, to set it correctly you need 4 wheel alignment. You adjust the camber first and then set the tracking.

 

Not got a name, Volkservice can probably do it.

You can use a spirit level to set it up roughly to get you up and running, base it on the opposite wheel's angle and measure it when the wheel is on the ground and moved back and forth to settle the shocks etc.

 

Then you can drive it to a 3 wheel place without knackering the tyre.

No idea mate, Dave is always talking about them though.

 

Kev, Its been like that for months, I think the tracking is OK, just the camber is out.

 

Best left to 'professionals' :mrgreen:
