Err Mission One = adjust torsion bars until level, assuming you have same size wheel/tyre on both sides and pressures are equal/correct.

Then if it persists, its something else

If the camber is out you will have badly uneven tyre wear...

just read through this again ... possibly worked it out

will do pics as soon as possible. i dont have my t2 with me this week so cant do pics.

i need pics of front bushes and in particular the half round rubber bump stops on front suspension area

if they are missing and do easilly go, that buggers your camber right up

leave torsion bars alone for a min it could make it worse

1. Are you telling me you went to work at half seven, or were you still in shock from last night?

2. How does a missing bump stop feck the camber up?
