Any ideas how to make such a thing? It's going to be a couple of weeks before I can get the geometry of my car fully sorted, so I want it to be as good as possible, as I've just changed the front dampers.

I'll keep this at the top, as I now would like to know whether the marks on the camber adjustment bolts on the front of the car actually correspond to anything...

I've set them both to the same mark, so I'll see how that goes. Would be nice to get them about right, as it's going to be a couple of weeks before I can get the settings checked.

I marked the damper and the wishbone before I removed the strut. I managed to get it reasonable after re-fitting but it only works if you are replacing the original struct.

Any help?

Yes - thanks. I'm pretty sure I have it set as it was.

I found punch marks in the old dampers, and also in the new ones. They looked to be in the same place, so I used these as markers to align the bolts. Just wondered if the marks on the bolts could be used so I can set the camber to approx. the prodrive settings to save the edges of my tyres!
