setting camber at home? camber adjustable coilovers

[Asa-James]

i'll get it all properly checked when i have the pennies, i can sort the tracking out as i go, but i dont have access to proper 4 wheel alignment gear so i can get the camber somewhere near, so it doesnt feel bloody aweful to drive. any tips, or old school techniques anybody wishes to share?

funky little spirit level off the Bay of E

how did i know you'd have an answer :)

i did think of that - used to have a little magnetic one but gave it away. duct tape will work, right?

[mowgli]

i spose so. magnets don't exactly stick to alloy wheels, so people must fix them on somehow

perfick. cheers for the pointer Mike, i'll be getting one of them doo-hickys i think.

Most digital spirit levels aren't accurate enough IMHO.

you can get an app for your phone. basically an inclinometer, providing you are on a flat surface with your suspension suitably settled or 'scrubbed in' its probably not too bad.

i would just stick some camber gauges on it.

camber is easier to measure than toe as all you need is a flat surface, a spirit level (or setsquare) and an idea of what you are trying to achieve.

I had a couple of jacks on the bottom balljoints so I could remove the wheels but keep the weight down on the hubs and level it by adjustin the jacks then spirit level over the hub
