camber adjustment and strut bolts

[wfillingham 0]

okay, to clear up any ambiguities.

when I meant neutral, I did'nt actually mean zero degrees and zero minutes.

It is set to minus 30 mins, ie. in other words minus half a degree.

according to the tolerences, the range is minus 1 degree to minus 20 mins. ie. minus third of a degree.

I suppose what your preference is how you drive the vehicle. I have been testing it round some corners, and then had a look at the tyres, and they seem okay so far. But note, I don't drive round corners at 90mph.

On the straight it is much more steady, and does'nt wander about like it used to, even when the alignment was right. and especially when most of the main roads in this area are straight, but actually full of lumps and bumps, then performance on the straight is more important than going round corners at 90mph.

I will run it for a few thousand miles, and see how the tyre wear is. note, my current set of front tyres has done over 11k miles, and has enough tread left for another 10k or so.

Note, prior to the adjustment they were set to minus one degree and 45 minutes, in other words, minus 1.75 degrees.

Ive just had the camber on mine set to -1o42' and also got a very slight toe out. car feels fantastic now, highly recommended.

The toe out makes the car extremely stable in a straight line, especially when on the power. It does increase tyre wear though.

a bit more camber does transform the vr6 form sluggish bus into pointy nimble hatch.
