Don't forget the primary reason for the camber position on our LBC's - it
makes it very easy to turn unassisted steering while parking and driving at
low speeds - it also aids on return to center.
Unless you are autocrossing this thing or doing some serious roadwork - stay
with the original setup. The tire wear issue is supposed to be addressed
through regular rotation

Gary,
You are correct. Also consider that too much toe in might produce similar
wear. The offset upper bushing will bring it to 0 or slight negative
camber. Mine was slight positive now it is slight negative with the
bushings.

Subject: [Healeys] Moss Motors adjustable camber bushing set
Recently I helped a friend install a set of Moss Motors adjustable camber
bushings in his '63 BJ7. He wanted to reduce the amount of positive camber.
After reading the Moss instruction sheet several times, it appears that
their illustrations at the bottom of page 1 are backwards.
http://www.mossmotors.com/graphics/products/instructions/282-308.pdf
The position of the fulcrum pin never changes, it's position is controlled
by the upper "A" arms attached to the shock. Therefore, if the bushing is
orientated as shown in the left illustration, the trunion & top of the
kingpin will be moved farther away from the engine which would be more
positive camber not less camber. Am I correct or am I missing something?
