Default +ve camber from rear AST suspension

Just fitted some AST suspension I bought last year. The rear wheels have a good amount of +ve camber - clearly visible even by eye. Am I missing something?!

Nope, some of the earlier kits had the wrong brackets on them, extremely difficult to get negative camber

Fitting camber bolts should help

That is the only way. I always suggest that camber bolts are fitted all round as it gives the technician a good (best?) chance of aligning to the right value and even across the axle.
So cheap to.

OK thanks for that chaps. I'll get some bolts fitted and report back. It looks like good degree and a half... I hope the bolts are enough.

if they are designed for a 'new-age' car then you'll struggle with a "classic" as they have differing needs from the mounting plate....................


as above you should get it with camber bolts, but 1.5deg+ sounds excessive regardless?!? would normally expect vertical (0deg) at worst..............

P.S. graham (911) did you get you pads, nuts, etc. OK?? should have had them last week..................
