Adjusted camber now steering wheel out and serv & esp lights flash on?!



  Clio 182
I noticed after fitting my coilovers and getting a 4 wheel alignment that the front left wheel was leaning in a hell of alot more than the front right! So because i had camber adjusters on my coilovers i jacked it up and brought the camber out a bit so the wheel was upright instead of leaning in. Upon taking it for a test drive the car pulls to the left a lot the steering wheel is off center and after a few mins of driving the service and esp light flash on and stay on but when the engine is turned off and on again they vanish untill i travel a few more mins.

I think i possibly might have it cambered too far in the opposite direction now?

Any help greatly appreciated :)

So you didn't trust he settings that some dialed in and ran without issue no? The lights are on because the steering angle sensor is saying something isn't right and because of this it cannot execute the ESP/TC program (So switches off). Its not a sensor issue which is why it goes off until you start driving again, more like it doesn't like your setup.

Take the car back to be properly setup and corner weighted.

Ahh brilliant thanks for the info, thought as much but needed confirmation! It's not that I didn't trust the set up, I had it done where I work on our laser 4 wheel alignment thing, but the 4 post ramp we use is broken and dropped slightly on the front n/s corner hence the **** up I belive. Thanks again :)
