Camber Pins

[daz05]

When I had my springs changed out I decided to adjust the camber slightly alignment. As per this guide.

It was really good and made a difference in grip and turn in but I've now decided I want to go back to the way things were before, reason being that on bumpy surfaces and off camber roads the car tends to follow the camber of the road.

I have a problem in that I can't adjust it back, I have undone all 3 bolts but the wheel won't move no matter what I try, am I missing something?

Hi

You need the wheels to be off the ground and it should go back. Try tapping the top of the strut tower lightly with a hammer

yeh it just needs alittle gentle force and it will move back, i went with the camber shim route instead to get -2.25, the new handling characteristics are fabulous, i love the lack of understeer

remember after doing this toe with be completely wrong which will mean you'll need to realign

Yeah I had the side jacked up that I was moving but nothing, got to the point that the car was going to move off the jack if I pushed any harder so gave up. Only moved them about 6 months ago too.
