Hi guys, anyone had their camber ( i believe) adjusted, and can recommend?
Price? Time?
Prefferably St Albans, but I know most of you are Hemel-ites so Hemel will be ok too...

My sexy Yokohama's didnt last that long Sad

You can get billit aluminum (I think) plates made up with whatever degree of camber you want...in a place down in kingslangly...think its about 25 dollar a corner. My nephew got them made up for his Clio and I think Dread has the same.

If i'm correct in my assuming (sp) yes camber will make the tyres wear, but not to that excess.

Your tracking must also must be out, which is why your tyres scrubbed out.

yer that could be tracking too, if you imagine for example its 4 degrees out, over the space (just for example) a mile, think how much stress is created with it 4 degrees out over that far, if the wheels werent attached you'd have one wheel in st Albans and the other in Watford Laughing .

Camber wont burn up tyres like that for a while, tracking will do it pretty quick, talking from experience:D

Ok, Thanks Guys, and Lady!
Ill get my tracking sorted this weekend. Is that expensive, and who does it, places like quick fit, stapletons etc?
Hope thats the biggest problem, as I ideally wanted to get coilovers before I had camber set up!

Im new to all this modified car stuff, so thanks for the help!

Tracking should be about 30 dub tokens, you'll need to get both tracking and camber done once your coilovers are fitted anyway.

Whenever you do anything to your suspension you should always get your tracking checked and adjusted, because your tyres will scrub out.
