Standard Camber Adjustment
Hi guys,got a question for ya's reguarding the standard camber adjust on the standard front struts :?
The round rubber on the top of the strut tower that comes through into the engine bay,there is a little nobly part to say what the camber is set at standard, just wanted to know whether both these knobs are supposed to be facing outwards towards the guard or facing to the inside towards the engine ops: Cause i have 1 facing toward the engine and 1 facing towards the guard,ive had theses struts out b4 and i forgot about this adjustment! Which way are they meant to be facing standard? Cause from the looks of it i have 1 with slight camber adjustment and the other standard which wouldnt be to healthy on the tyre wear/handling i assume If any of yous guy would be able to check your cars for me and tell me where your is situated that would be appreciated Cheers

I dont think the fronts are adjustable...
That might be for toe in and toe out I dont think the tops are adjustable

Im pretty sure that it was for minor camber adjustment and if it needed more, than a camber kit was needed :? Ill have to look into it further i think :wink:
I just want the Tops to be the same,thats why id like to know where they are meant to be standard :P

I know of the knobbie bits, the drivers side points toward the engine and the passengers pionts away. On my Cosmo they change the camber or caster about 1/4 degrees. On the Astina the tops only go in one way.
Good news they are not in wrong Bad news, no minior adjustment Rod

Thanks dude,thats cleared that up for me,i was worrying that i had 1 of the struts outta alignment :?
I obviously didnt look at the studs properly to see they only went in 1 way b4 asking the question ops: With my 81m 323 you could put the tops in diff to adjust the camber slightly and i thought the astina worked off the same principal :wink: Cheers

No, it was a good question.
As I said, the Cosmo has the adjustment and I'd never looked at the Astina for the same. Now we both know. Rod
