Coilover/camber/bizzarre wheel issue

[jackfm]

I'm running rokkor coilovers, 25mm spacers and renault 25 v6 wheels.

Just put the new wheels on today and realised the two main bolts on my passenger side coilover had come a little loose. tightened them up but now - this is the odd part - the passenger side wheels has an obvious positive camber and doesn't even look like its pointing straight. At the same time the driver side wheel looks perfect.

Anyone have any ideas at all? It was all fine this morning.

Have you had your coilovers setup properly?

no not yet. was waiting for the wheels. I know they're probably slightly out all round but this is very obvious and wants like it before the tighten.

Would that explain why one does and they other doesn't? If so then i need them lol.

Is the car safe to drive? and I'm working at 5. You around at about 4?

Should be fine to drive will just feel a bit weird/pull maybe to one side and cause uneven tyre wear in the long run.

there is a bit of adjustment on the coilies themselves so that might explain why one is and one isnt, but the bolts allow adjustment so you can sort it out.

im just away to jump in the shower now so can be in dundee for just after 3? yeah mines was fine to drive, felt a bit unstable and the repsonse from the steering was guff but it still worked haha! give me a text mate because im off this now.
