Negative camber on standard parts...?!?

[daddycool]

the camber is -1.5 degrees on both sides. it does have solid top mounts but these are non-adjustable and hold the strut in the middle of the mount. the joints are relatively new, as are wishbone bushes. only other thing i could think of was the struts doing something funny. it's not lowered.

any suggestions? plus how do non-cup shocks differ from cup shocks?

There is meant to be negetive camber as standard.

 

[daddycool]

not -1.5 though. my fronts are wearing on the inside at a fairly rapid rate

It could be toeing out a lot,that would also do it.

 

[daddycool]

toe is pretty much spot on, danny @ 519 set it on the weekend. i did mention afterwards that the camber looked a little better after adjusting the toe, but i don't remember if we checked it again!

what is the normal camber for ph1 : -0.5 degrees or?

 

[mickstoke]

either the toe out or its got the wrong wishbones or bottom balljoints on!

are you on standard wheels?

 

[sideways danny]

i checked toe and camber before making any adjustments. it was toeing in 1.5 degrees and just a little less than 2 degrees of camber. Set it to straight ahead and there was little or no change to the camber.

I think they're non cup shocks personaly, and they're a slightly different angle at the mounting point

 

[mickstoke]

maybe yeah! can u not get the part number off them? would it not be easier to use a set of camber bolts?

 

[daddycool]

i'll get the part numbers off them and compare

edit: i've got my old cup shocks in the shed so can always swap them back over if that's the problem

 

[sideways danny]

I really would just get some camber bolts, then you/we can set it up exactly as desired

 

[mickstoke]

i wud keep the cup shocks as they are much firmer on the road, camber bolts much easier job that swapping shocks
