4X4, Lowering, Camber, Questions & Answers

Does any one know about these cambers
i was reading a post that some one put on here the other day think it was a buying guide but ther was an interesting bit on there about cambers and when you lower the cally the strain it will put on the txb......!

I haven't had my cally very long ive had to do alot of work on it too and the last thing i want is for the 4x4 box to go wrong again after i have just fixed it.....!!!

so does any one know about the cambers after lowering,
or how to tell if the camber has been changed befor i got the car,
cos i know the callys normaly have quit a big camber any way,
is it true that lowering a 4x4 puts strain on the txb,
is there away of telling the 4x4 box is in good condiction,
how often should i change the tyers round,
is it just front to back or corner to corner,

Sorry for the long post but a lot of people seem to be asking the same question but hopefully all the answers can be in the same post....,

any help will be greatfull

If lowered yes you do need to check the camber is still in spec and fit ajusters if it isn't.

I could go into a bit more detail on your questions, but i think you'll find <a href="http://www.cav16.co.uk" target="_blank">www.cav16.co.uk</a> has all the answers your looking for and more.

Oh, and you should generally rotate your tyres front to back, not side to side as well, especially seeing as most tyres on cars like yours are directional anyway (i.e. you can only put them one way round).

You can get them from a Vx dealer and possibly from Autovaux.

They replace one (or two) of the inner bushes of the rear suspension arm.

PM Fatladz if you want a pic.
