camber adjustment

mrnice · Apr 13, 2010

I noticed today that my passenger side tyre is suffering from what i think is called positive camber (please correct me if im wrong) its basically wearing more on the outside.

Can i adjust this myself or do i have to take it in to a garage thats got the appropriate tools for the job? cheers

Sounds like a tracking problem, but check joints bearings etc .

Aye most likely to be tracking. Too much toe in.

It's really a garage job to be done accurately. They will need to have tracking equipment, ideally 4 wheel tracking gear so that it can be set really well.

You might like to just check for play in the swivel bearing before you spend money on tracking though, as they often wear and then put the tracking out.

Have look at this link below, only on some vehicles with independant rear suspension can the the rear be adjusted something your D1 doesn't have.
