4 degrees positive camber, fixable?

Postby sergei » Tue May 08, 2012 9:28 pm

After fitting ST202 hubs on my ST165, I ended up with some toe in, and about 4 degrees of positive camber. I am not sure where did it come from, as I measured (although roughly) ST165 and ST202 and they seem to be the same.

Is it fixable during wheel alignment, or do I have to get camber plates?

I will attempt to fix toe in (I think there is plenty of thread to do it).

Camber plate, but 4 deg is alot.
I would install camber bolts or slot the holes in on the struts.

Or get some of my coilovers and it will fix it all :)

Yeah, don't have spare $$$ for that yet.

PM me the price for camber plates + camber bolts.
Can I use new camber plates on new coilovers at later stage?
