Camber adjustments on stock gear

Postby |_Ash_| » Sat Mar 29, 2014 10:07 am

Hi guys,

I recently got some new wheels and tyres on my car, and I've since noticed that the two front wheels seem to be running different camber.

I've been told to get camber bolts to rectify the issue and get both wheels running at the same angles, but is it possible to adjust the camber with the stock components? I'd rather try to adjust them first, and then worry about getting aftermarket parts, if possible.

So, is it possible to do? I only need to adjust about +/-2 on either side, max.

Thanks in advance.

You might be able to get 1.5 deg out of standard adjustment on the front. Anything more needs camber bolts.

Rear can be adjusted by lowering, or bushes.

Cheers, that's what I suspected. I'll have a go at pulling the wheels off and seeing what I can do with what's there.

Thanks for the info.

Best to get an alignment done, they'll fix your camber up and also correct your toe as it will be put out when you adjust camber
