front end suspension

[blackpoolsparks]

Just having a chat with the mechanic whos fitting my side exhaust and i asked him bout sorting out my camber problem. He said his equipment wasnt big enough to go round my tires. So I said I was going to do it myself and was aware that it wasnt going to be perfect, but better than it was now.

He showed me the elliptical (cam type) washer that i needed to adjust, but warned me that adjusting my camber without adjusting the track end rods would correct my camber, but would alter my toe (in I think).

He stated that if it hadnt caused any uneven wear on my tires, then not to bother and leave it as is, as messing with it might make it worse and would require 4 wheel tracking alignment.

i had a look at the 31s I just took off the Surf, which have been on for bout 3-4 months and no sign of uneven wear.

Should I just leave it? What do u think?

BTW Kerrsurf its not gonna cost "only" 20 squid to get it done professionally.

Just leave it. A wee bit of negative camber (top of the wheel inwards) is a good thing anyway.

why?

why?

Helps cornering, the outside wheel straightens up a bit in a corner so gives better grip. You'll not notice it in a Surf though!
