Camber adjustments

[L_A]

I am having my w210 lowered next friday and was wondering whether i would need my cambers adjusted and where i would get this done from. The last thing i want is to have uneven tyre wear.

Would a 4 wheel alignment cover camber adjustments ?

normally - no... its not covered. you will need them adjusted.

www.dewdney.co.uk/guy/210wheel.pdf for the settings - i hope...

do all four cambers need setting up again. Has anyone had thiers lowered without having any problems is that a possibility or would you definately need cambers adjusted after lowering.

guydewdney - i dont quite understand the link that you sent me how do these values work.

Found out from my local dealer earlier they said they would not touch the cambers on a suspension that has been modified. Anyone know of any place where i would be able to get the cambers adjusted from near Newcastle. I cant believe the fact that most the places that lower cars cant align the cambers up. Would it be possible to get away without aligning the cambers up.

Accident repair specialists sometimes have the kit to re camber wheels. Try your Yellow Pages and phone around, even if they dont have the kit ask them who has.

The camber and the castor for that matter do not have any variable adjustment.

They are adjusted by using a bolt (from the stealers) which will increase / decrease a certain amount because of the indent in the washer.

This bolt simply replaces your current ones in the wishbone arm.
