Positive Front wheel camber?
dubai - July 26th, 2011 at 07:28 PM

Guys please excuse my drawing but its to give you the idea I have Positive camber on my Front Left Hand Side wheel and it basically just like in the drawing to the same degree. Its something that I need your advice on how to correct or what is the cause?

It think its beyond using the adjusting camber nuts on the link pin fron end but am open to advice i think it must of had a hit in the front but nothing is obvious or bent Also I have a noise that has developed in the front end I am thinking its a broken leaf sping in the torsion beam is this possible? I have replaced tie rods steering rods so its not this. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks Guys
