New top mounts are re designed not to use washers to space the top plate away from the turret.
When you put the hub back on did you press the track rod end back in before tightening the nut? As its chamferd...
Shall swap the shocks round tomorrow and see how it goes. Then start eliminating things.
Ben good shout about ball joints.
I have thought something maybe bent but nothing has ever showed up when its been on a hunter alignment system.
Could it be the wheel with camber is correct and the one...
Yes it only has camber 1 side ehich is the side that sits in, the camber is pretty noticeable to the eye. The otherside is nigh on vertical.
Can't try old shock as scrap man had it.:(
saying that i shall swap front shocks round and see if it reverses the situation to the other side.
Its a non cup/cup packed. Or are you on about 172 cup dampers as non cup 182's share the same don't they.

Love the tailpipes on that.
Only thing i don't like the look of is the flexipipe!! Is there need for it? Thought the cat to manifold joint was the area of movement..
Can't stop looking at those tips!!! I need them.
Once its sooted up a bit get some videos up.
This.
Years ago on an old mk1 clio i had. I put a chain round it then attached it to the tow bar on my works van, few sharp jolts helped slightly in straightening it flol.
Don't advise doing that though. As Gally has said cut old out and weld in new one.
Total control racing in wednesbury is just round the corner from kingswinford and shall do a far more supirior job
