I have finally gone 1 degree negative camber (just time and money and
priorities delayed me for so long - I now realise I should have
rearranged my priorities, especially after destroying an expensive set
of tyres because of the camber of the front wheels).
In fact, I have probably gone almost 1.3 degrees negative of what it
was originally! When I checked the front end before pulling it to bits
I found it was actually a few degrees POSITIVE and was told this was a
mixture of "wear" and "original setup".
Anyone think they have an "original" front end on their car and willing
to measure the camber for me? Unless you have had it set up as
neutral/zero camber, I reckon most will find it is at least a degree
positive camber!
