Hi Guys,

I have been the camber is out on the O/S Front wheel, too much negative, and i need to fit a camber correction bolt.

Is this possible to do ones self without too much grief?

Do i replace both bolts on the front wishbone??

Cheers

124 just turn the adjustment bolt.

IF its a 210 This is a very tough job to do, with a full geommtry ramp, so to atempt without must be impossible.

210 You need to clamp the spring to take the pressure of the bolt then fit the new one and hold in he correct position while its tightened.


211 not to bad but you still need to hold the bolt in the correct possition while doing up.

Good luck, let us know what car you have.

first check the condition of upper and lower ball joints and wheel bearings. either of these can affect the camber.

also the wishbone bushes...turn the steering to full lock and check for movement of the wishbone
