Hi There

I found in the haynes manual that the car is only adjustable camber on the back wheels not the front? is this correct... if it is then i may have a problem as the passenger wheel has alot of positive camber and the drivers is straight.. is it an easy spot to see what is bent ?

Thanks

Mark

There are products out there that you can purchase and fit to enable front adjustment. However it sounds like something is bent and you will need to rectify this before fitting such products:thumbsup

Are you aware of how something may have become bent? Sometimes knowing the event can help knowing where to look first.

Items such as track rod ends and the steering rack can bend, as can lower control arms on harder impacts.

Yes have you had any minor bumps with kerbs etc??

I have had a small impact withna kerb but when i bought the car as its on coil overs who ever fitted them did a crap job as the height was all over the place and each wheel looked like it had different camber on each wheel !.

Once it is rectified what such products can you fit to adjust it

thank you

if you want more negative camber on the front you can shim the hub assembly away from the shock.
refer to this for more instructions, i found it very useful:
