On your car yeah mate, your camber would be out [img]/tongue.gif[/img] big tyres and suspension

but somone who hasnt got big wheels or suspension, should have normal camber.

Prob take an hour if you have no problems, prob take anyone whos laid back a few hours though, rofl

Its either your wishbones, or suspension struts, maybe even a suspension spring snapped.

Check all these first.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Not on the front, the front, its always the back which just suffers.

So just the rear camber correction kit.

If its your front, get your laser tracking place to adjust yout toe (thats all ive done to the front of mine and it handles **** loads better and doesnt wear at all)

I do need to fix the camber on the back (17inch wheels, lowered 30-35mm on irmscher springs and its out 2-3 degrees)

Im planning on useing the kit Cav16 has on his site.

lol,, but as far as i know, your "toe" is acctually nothing to do with your camber but it could wear the inside off your tyres,, but you would then want it "toed out" ,, have you had your car "aligned" ,, as in are your wheels both pointing forward when your steering is centered,, u know what i mean,,

im sure its your tie rods which are adjustable for the alignment you need,,

i have been driving now for 9 years and i have never had a car alighned, lol,, but with this cally i will hav it done

actuly yeah, i took mine to demon tweeks on saturday, they recommended me to alter the toe on the frnt to stop tyre wear and advised me to find a solution for the rear camber (as they were not sure who make the camber kits)

FRONT:

'Toe in' and 'toe out' (commonly called 'tracking') is adjusted by means of the track rod ends of the steering rack.

Camber is non-adjustable*

Castor is non-adjustable*

REAR:

Toe is non-adjustable*

Camber can be adjusted with the correct bushes.

Castor is non-adjustable*


*Although these settings are normally non-adjustable they CAN be changed by drilling, welding or making of custom bushes and spacers, etc.
