Suspension Geometry

[mep12345]

Had the geometry set up by Protyre today. They have done a good job and the car handles much better and the steering is soooooooo much lighter.

Didn't have any of the issues referred to in the other thread on this subject wrt suspension work done by someone other than them, infact they were really helpful. However the one bit they couldn't get in spec (as they said there was no adjustment - which I don't necessaily believe as I had to show them how to adjust the camber) was castor, does anyone know how this is adjusted?

It's more or less not adjustable - if you have shims on the top balljoint you could move it in steps by shuffling shims about, but apart from that it's fixed.

Thanks, hadn't thought of the shims, which I do have, so may discuss this with them at a later date and attempt to set it when I change the trailing arm bushes and give the arms a proper (rather than quick) overhaul next winter.

Is rear camber adjustable?

If so, I would like to know how, 'cos mine is running -2degrees on one side.

Rear camber is not adjustable, although changing the ride height also changes camber.
