Well,
Please correct me if I am wrong, but the camber really signifies the
relation of the upper and lower truunion while looking from the front of the
car. This really means there is a triangle between the upper and lower
trueunion
|\0 <--upper truunion
| \
| \
| \
| \
|_____\O <-- lower truunion
The angle at the top of that triangle should be 1deg. The distance between
the top and lower truunion is about 22cm. This means that the lower edge of
the triangle should be almost 4mm. (if I remember my trigonometry correctly)
My triangle is the other way, moved 2mm to the outside.
This means my left side is 6mm off.
The question is - was this due to accident or was it the way the cars were
produced??..
How precisely were the cars manufactured as far as the frame is
concerned??...
What are the tolerances for these setups?
Thanks, Tadek

Tadek,
Seems your left front suspension is out of tollerances. You should have
negative camber. The right looks better, but also not as it should be. Did
the car had an accident front left?
I had similar on mine, but opposite side.

I have checked my suspension today and I have:
Caster:
L: 0.83 deg
R: 1.30 deg
Book: 1.45 deg
Camber:
L: +0.50 deg
R: -0.33 deg
Book: -1.00 deg
The toe was set to almost 0.
