Pretty sure I've got an issue with the camber on my front right, getting the geometry checked on sat morning but not too sure what the camber and toe settings should be for the front. Don't want to adjust the camber only to screw up the toe settings. Not after anyone's trade secret settings or anything like that, just sensible base settings - perhaps from Radical or something?

Cheers,

Dunc.

Thats the camber then, assume dead straight for toe would be an acceptable place to start?

Really appreciate the help, thanks smile

Now toe is a really personal thing. If you want it to be nice and stable on the straights then a mm of toe in on each wheel would be the order of the day. If you want to get the car to turn in a bit quicker then a 1 mm of toe out on each wheel would be a good place to start.

BTW just in case you are not sure that's a mm of difference measured between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the front rim when compared with a datum line that is parallel to the centre line of the chassis (string smile )
