That's alot of camber... (except nsr, which is near enough) front should aim for 1°10' and rears somewhere between 1°30' and 1°40'

Not sure when 0°05 + 0°08 equalled 0°10 either, but fair play on getting it done at that price

Thought you used the string method  Nice to know though that there is other places to get it done

The pound shop had run out of string,so had to resort to a pretty picture instead..

The fronts wouldn't adjust more than is shown,that was max, on the uprights without removing them and elongating the holes. But its a road car at the end and 1' isn't going to make a difference to my getting to work, there will be some who wont like them figures, but its not a grp A or super saloon.

Fair dos

I'm a bit concerned they couldn't get the front camber far better. Is there something odd with your car preventing it?

There was no more adjustment,on the uprights.

Yeah, I got that, the question is, why?  What shocks, hub and wishbones do you have?

Far to much front camber for a road car, that will knacker the tyres in no time!!

Was you pulling the top of the wheel out or pushing the bottom in?

Think it may need both doing.

If pushing in it must be lowered or something wrong with it.

Depending on tyre rim protection, you should be able to get the wheel virtually upright, certain above -1 degree 

Both sides at the end of their travel, or just one side, and the other set to match?

[Sir Tigger KC]

Well looks like that was a waste of £65 biggriff!    Bet you wish you'd stuck with your bit of string now!

Had a zifira in with the same problem. Excessive tyre wear on the inside, camber way out.

The only way to get the adjustment anywhere near was to ream out the adjustment hole a tad.

Nice to meet you mate, and I won't ask for the extra discount - some say it should go to WIM 

Suprised re the front camber figs - whilst they didn't get mine to exactly 1°10', they got it close enough (within about 10' -  20' from memory) - same reason given to me at the time as given to you.

However I found car much more planted since geo done, and slight wear on inside edge of front o/s tyre has not got any worse since.

Does the car drive any better since you had it done?
