Camber Adjustment

[g17egg]

I'm looking for rear camber adjustment bushes for my 95 turbo,

Regal have quoted £180 for the four bush set which i think is expensive, anybody know where to find them cheaper ?

Also looking for a front adjustment kit but i'm struggling.

The car is lowered 40mm.

Thanks g17egg

You won't get the "good" kit any cheaper really.
but you can get the cheap kits cheaply. there is the vaux irmisher(sp) one avaliable direct from vaux, and the powerflex one, avaliable from powerflex dealers, neither is any good really in comparison to the one you're on about.

For the front you can of course just slot the 3 holes for the ball joints in the bottom arm and bolt them on slightly further in.

I've already got the powerflex ones fitted, but they're not much good. I'll just go for the regal ones i think.

Does slotting the holes work well? I've never heard of anyone trying it

It works ok if you can be bothered tightening it up, measuring it, loosening it off, tapping it along a bit, tightening it up, measuring it etc.

People will tell you its a bodge and unsafe as potentially it can move, but TBH thats a nonsense, the clamping force is more than enough to hold it in place, the only way it would move is if you have a very severe accident, and the arm would bend first!

Some cars ajust like that as standard anyway, but they do have large clamping plates and fine thread etc iirc so you can really wang it up tight.

Just phoned the guy thats setting the suspension, he's cool about me slotting the holes but said i'd need to slot them at least 10mm maybe 15 with the being dropped 40mm.

Does that sound about right ?

[Stupink]

The fronts won't really change anyway tbh. you'll be "in-spec" without any ajustment.
So you'll need them slotted however much you need to move them to put them to whatever spec you're thinking of.

No, that doesnt sound right, I would expect more like 5mm as you WANT some static negative on the front anyway to aid cornering.

As i said though, its a trial and error process.

Mate i brought a set of this guy on Ebay. I no it's coming from OZ but i got them in good time and they work well. Item no: 140058111119

i paid £191 from cav16, it was faulty. Biggest mistake i ever made i would just chance it with ****e camber, the money you will save on camber fitting setup etc will be saved for a VTS locked box if yours goes t**s up.

Big headache

You'll also be changing the tyres every 2,000miles.. not so cheap huh??
