    Default Camber adjustment on st162?w/pics

    I've done a search and flicked through my haynes manual, but i cant find exactly what i'm after.

    I've taken out my front struts on my st162 and it has Camber adjusters.



    I've marked the original position as you can see in the photos.



    When i refit my struts can i give the car a bit of negative camber (1,2 degrees) by re-alligning it differently? Would it Improve the handling a bit?or just wear out my tyres much quicker?

    Any thoughts,experience?

    Thanks

    You really need to adjust the camber whilst the vehicle is on the ground otherwise you'll never get even camber.
    It looks like those offset inserts require some sort of special tool to adjust, possibly go to your local (reputable) tyre place and ask them if they have said tool and if so can they adjust the camber for you.

    yeah but you need to move them when the car is on the hoist and the suspension is assembled and loaded up with the weight of the car.
