Setting AST top mounts

[Ph1 Tom]

I've searched a couple of threads that say all 3 bolts to the front of the car for max caster.

But what is the setting for max caster and camber? And are they infinitely adjustable up to 1.4 degrees?

If your wanting max camber/caster then the strut nuts need to be pointing towards the gearstick, max caster towards the rear and max camber towards each strut top.

You will only get their quoted 1.4 deg of adjustment in any one direction, if you want a mix of caster and camber from them then it will be less than 1.4 in both directions.

F***ing Dutch!

How much is max combined then for each?

Tbh I want 3 degrees of camber bang on so I need an extra 1.1 degrees or thereabouts. If that'll give me an extra degree of caster I'll be happy enough.

Just have a play around and see I guess.

Bolts are maxed out at 1.83 degrees. Need more camber

two sets of bolts?

It's possible yes but they are a much smaller diameter than standard. I'd be worried about one failing.
