you need to take and geometry set when they've been apart mate

if you'd have marked it before removing then you would be ok but as there out now then no mate,you can set it some where near by eye but it can cause funny handling and bad tyre wear,and the geometry setting is when they put gauges on to set the camber and caster angles and front to rear wheel allignment,you can find the odd place with old manual gauges but most are electronic,usually costs about a ton to be done mate.

Bloody hell how much lol i will try and give a go myself it does look like their is a little were on the outer side of tyre and if you look at the front wheels from the front of car it does look like the do camber out a little from the top and in at the bottom if it is out would it effect the c diff on my car as if in auto i ge a knock / bang noise when turning going slow it ok at speen and also ok if in rear end drive ?

no mate the camber wont effect the diff,is this noise only when turning at slow speed?

youngscars

Yes m8 when driving in and out my drive or going round a sharpish corner at low speen as i say fine when going fast

is it when you go on and off the throttle or just at constant speed and can you feel it when it happens ie through the peddlels or steering?

youngscars

I can sometimes feel it when i come to a stop and then pull away but not all time . I dont think i can feel it through the peddels just through the steering its like a clunk / knock feeling i dont no it just dont quit feel right lol

sounds like you could have a lower arm bush going,when the weight transfers from one way to the other its moving or it could be a drop link?when you,ve got the wheel back on give it shake from side to side whilst looking the bushes and see if there is any movement.

youngscars

LOL would that cause the noise when i have it in auto on my c diff the only reason i ask is cause the pasenger side bottom ball joint has gone ?

youngscars

Do you no were i can get one from i got one online but it was the wrong one i have tried everywere mine is not like the standerd bull joint mine has like a cone that sits into a cone shape . I did not no if that would cause the prob i thought it was to do with my c diff / drive shafts

depends how bad it has gone mate really,you could get one of a local garage if you have one close,get them to order one of the motor factors they use.

youngscars

Set the camber bolts to give max negative camber, ie leaning the top of the wheel in towards the car as far as possible. This will be about 1deg 15min which is fine for "fast road". May not be entirely equal but won't be far off. Track will have to be reset as moving the camber changes the position of the end of the steering arm. Suggest about 1mm toe in, you'll have to do both sides equally or steering wheel won't be straight.
