Raceland coilover camber adjustment?
I have just bought a 2001 bugeye wagon which has raceland
coilovers but the camber is out on the front drivers side causing
it to pull to the right.
Anyone know how to adjust?

If you have adjustable pillowball top mounts then it will be a case of un doing 4 bolts on the top and moving the strut in or out... If not it will be a case of messing around with the clevis bolts on the bottom of the shock where it attaches to the hub.

has 4 bolts around a central bolt, are these the ones to loosen
then simply adjust.
The camber is slightly positive, if I just loosen the bolts will it correct it
and then re-tighten said bolts?

In basic terms, yes, loosen the 4 bolts and then use something like a hammer and a metal drift on the strut to tap it into place, however, you realy want this doing at a garage with the proper laser allignment stuff to get all of your wheels correctly cambered and the toe in / out sorted.
Just guessing will not do, get a proper job dome and the car will feel much better.
