Title: Riding Height and Camber again
Post by: polilara on 14 September 2015, 19:13:26

Riding height front driver side is 660 and front other side 666. Front camber is -2 degrees 0 minutes and -2 degrees 06 minutes respectively. Toe OK, both sides 0.10 degrees. Front tyres wearing in inner side.

What to do? New springs or just adjust camber to what? Any experience. Ref for Camber seems to be from -1 degree 55 minutes to - 0 degree 25 minutes (each side).

Omega with V6.

Your ride height is about the same as mine, and 6mm difference between them is a trivial amount.


Your camber angles are almost twice what they should be, and are what is causing the tyre wear.


Adjusting it accurately to an appropriate figure should solve the problem.

OK, Thanks Nick W

Have to adjust it as you said. Perhaps riding height was 20-30 mm higher when new which naturally reduces Camber, (I do not know how much). Have seen everything between 675 and 695 about the original riding height.

I saw in Monroe pages Ride-Leveler Shock Absorbers. Are they available for Omega (back), any experience?
