Question

Had 4 wheel alignment done but they couldnt get the geometry correct. The toe-in is fine and adjusted suitably. The problem is I had to argue with them that front camber is adjustable. They said no and wouldnt adjust it for me. The problem is one side is at 0deg and the other at -0.5deg. Should I take it somewhere else and pay the money to get this adjusted correctly? Generally the cost here is the equivalent of 10quid for 4 wheel alignment!!

The other problem is the camber at the back is out of spec? Is this normal, should I be worried? The one side is at -0.14deg and the other at +0.1deg. Should I try and adjust by shifting the suspension mounts around or getting offset camber bolts?

The front camber is adjustable.
To adjust the rear camber you need adjustable rear camber bolts which are available either from whiteline or from a wreck. Your rear camber is way off. You need much more -ve camber.

I'm no expert m8 but I would say your front camber is way off too!!!!

Ask RichiB what "good" settings should be, he's the PowerStation "Bump Steer Fame" bloke...
