Alignment And Camber Problem.


Recommended Posts

Hit a kerb in the snow the other day on the nsf wheel, thought it was alright until i noticed the steering wheel was off to the left. Checked the alignment and it was toeing out massively so i adjusted it. Thought i'd play it safe and take it to a garage to get it checked and they said there was nothing wrong with it. It was a different story when I went to get it aligned properly, they noticed a camber on the right wheel but not on the left. I have no idea what it could be but i'm taking it to a garage that specialises in geometry setups and get them to check it for me.

Any ideas as to what the problem is?

The bottom arm could be bent a bit also the track rod end...if you never hit it that hard then it could be tracking get it checked by someone that knows what they are doing i think is your best bet :angry2:

If youve had it checked mate and they said its fine then its probably just knocked the Camber out on that side.

Take it to a place that specialize in laser 4-wheel alignment, if they have a Hunter Alignment Booth than your on too a winner because there awesome!! That should be able to tell you if the Camber has been knocked out. If so they should be able to adjust it back to its correct setting.

I hope its just that! I drove all the way to my camp near poole and my tyres are done! Want to get tuning it up as soon as! Just gonna get a cheap set of tyres on until i decide to get new alloys.

The two big bolts on the bottom of the shocks are your camber bolts. There is a little play in them, just loosen them a little and push back in for your camber. Must corner garages AND big brand names never set your alignment spot-on so you'll be back in 6 months for new tyres. 4 wheel laser alignment computers are only so great because you get a printout which confirms your settings.
