Effect of camber?

[ForceIndia]

Couple of days ago, found the print out of my alignment done at Powerstation, noticed that the camber is different right to left? 1.3 on drivers side, 2.0 on passenger side (rear wheels), any reason for this, or just a c**k up?

Have the shocks been off at all? You running after market suspension?

Is that 1.3 negative? 2.0 would be a lot

 

[ForceIndia]

Yep, AST coilovers. 1.3-ve and 2.0-ve

that's rear???

that's rear???

Thats what the read out says. I'll scan the read out in tonight.

thats excessive! knackered rear bearing i reckon

On the read out, it's got before and after. The before reading is lower, (1.5iirc), they changed the springs, re-did the set-up, ended up with that?

Camber isnt adjustable on the rear without camber shims (basically slivers off metal that are angled) that sit behind the hub assembly somewhere, so something doesnt sound right there mate. Might have a slight different reading between sides but nothing that much surely?

Not sure if it's different because the rears are a coilover with the ast's? I don't know, TBH my knowledge of suspension is as bad as Riz's knowledge of personal grooming.

^^ lol

that does sound excessive chamber on the rear and I can think of no reason why it should be different N/S and O/S

Probably a mistake on the print out

Not sure if that would make a difference, as they still, i assume, bolt onto the original shock bolt on the rear trailing arms? So should have an effect on this?

Stupid as it sounds, maybe one wheel wasnt put on 100% right and tight, so could have had the bolts slightly loose and flared out which could cause the camber change?
