Camber Adjustment
« on: 12 May 2009, 16:39:18 »
My osf camber is sitting at -2.75 How do I adjust it back to the -1.1 where it should be?
Can you get the offset bolts from vauxhall?  :-?

you have to undo the nuts on the hub to shock and ajust that way with a spirit level
but you will never get it 100% mate

How do you adjust after undoing bolts? The bolts go through at right angles to the camber line.

I have access to laser alignment equipment and camber/castor reader.
