Took off the Apexs and fitted the vmaxx last weekend. the tracking and camber was all over the place, really bad. went to Autostop in Dinas / Porth, this morning (saturday) and asked them to do the tracking and camber on their hunter equipment. Took them about 45 minutes and the result is...

fitted the 'maxxs on saturday, i thought i'd be clever and put the camber bolts in at maximum neg camber, nearly killed myself going down the street!! I tried them again at 'central' both sides thinking this would be roughly O degrees, how wrong was I. it is skatey, light on steering...
