think my front cambers out ? pic attached
hi all
now i havent measured anything but when i look at this picture i think the geometry looks wrong on the front ?
are they adjustable in any way ?
doesnt look as bad here though but still looks positive ?
for comparison, could still be positive ? is this normal (wouldnt have thought so)
is there a datum i can do a rough measure from to check
thanks for looking

Hi,
Yes, the front camber is adjustable - as it came out of the factory, there's an eccentric bolt attaching the strut to the knuckle (the top one of the two), and also the three top hat studs can move somewhat in the holes in the body so the top of the strut can be moved inboard or outboard, if necessary.
It's nigh on impossible to tell anything from the pictures as the angle and the lens tend to distort things. The way you can check the camber is find an extremely flat and level surface (as in measured with a spirit level kind of level) and then use the same level across opposite top and bottom points on the face of the rim (not the tyre) to see if it's positive or negative camber or even the angle if using a digital level.
Easier to have it checked by an alignment shop.
