Yep. That needs adjusting. Make sure he readjusts the toe as well, as adjusting the camber will mess up the toe setting.

Would have been quicker for him to do the job properly the first time round.

You should also get castor measured, it is adjustable unofficially, by moving the subframe. It needs to be even rather than correct. This will be beneficial to the driving experience when everything else is corrected. May I suggest someone more willing to do a proper job?

The thing is would you trust a chimp who has fed you a line like that?

where did you take it charlie?

Somewhere to avoid.....

[feeutfo]

Appalling, don't leave it too long, tyre wear at another camber setting will affect handling. Not enough camber will likely give a flighty unconnected feel in conjunction with the wear from the previous setting.

I'd be looking for a cash refund and take else wear tbh. Not good at all. Name and shame.....

[the alarming man]

have you a wheels in motion franchisee by you??

[Bigfoot]

Not even all the wim franchisees know the camber is ajustable on omegas, till you tell them , experience.

If they don't i think Tony would like to know so he can get rid or re-educate

[Bigfoot]
