Hi all, one of my next jobs since doing the body lift and going on a laning outing is to lift the suspension.

My question is how do we adjust the camber on the front wheels, is it a specialist job?

Is the camber adjustable or are new parts needed?
 
You'll be taking out some shim washers from the top arm , simples.
Check the manual for the exact sizes per degree camber :thumbs but very small shim , say 1mm has a big effect. So RTFM :cool:
 
Just looked at the manual and looks easy enough.

Is there a way i can check the camber angle once i have removed a shim and is it a case of removing one at a time and checking it?

Yes but that's the hard way. Check angle 1st, then refer to manual and deduct correct size shim/s :thumbs There's a simple equation I thought for .1 degree per mm shim or something.
 
Tyre fitting garage's have a fancy level and gauge which shows the angle :rolleyes: Pop in for a check up :thumbs
