front camber help
screw paying for alignment atm, car goes perfectly straight but I recall my dad saying he wacked out the camber on oen of the wheels
Why? He got these cheap tires few years ago and the car always pulled right, one rear tire separated from the belting replaced rears, eventually front did it too, replaced.
Okay now it's straight line till I hit a decent bump, yay!
I notice odd handling characteristics, it seems taking right turns handles much better then left which tends to make the right front tire squeal
If the camber was too positive the outer edge of the tire would squeal on a left turn I thinks.
Anyways if you look at the car you can visually see the right wheel is not as negative camber as the right...
So how is it adjusted? My dad said something about turning something, theres little notches in the strut tower part and the right side (The wheel that looks like it has positive camber)'s little notch is in a different position
I got a camber thing thats a magnet that sticks to the wheel, never used one before but i'll whip it out i guess, if anyone can brifely describe how to adjust the camber though would be helpful
thank you, I don't want my tires to wear funky

IIRC the strut tops have the strut shaft off center a little. If you remove the small nuts that hold it to the chassis you can lower it out of the hole and spin it. You may be able to see the shaft move around in a circle as you rotate the strut bearing(4 positions possible) find the position that puts it toward the middle of the car and to the rear if possible(that effects caster)
