that curred mine anyway the other way is to elongate your holes at the bottom of your shock , look in the haynes manual it telss you how to do this (well the version i have does anyway)

or try this link to a camber topic from a while ago

i am confused now......do i just have the tracking done and see if that solves my problem or do i adjust the camber somehow then get the tracking done?

the car is lowered by 40mm and runs on 17" wheels should i need to adjust the camber?

[m.d.]

do the camber mod then get the tracking done mate.
the camber mod changes your tracking drastically. makes hell of a diference the tyre wear too

if the tracking is toe out it will alos torture the inside of the tyre.

Keep camber to about 1 deg negative, set track parallel.

I have 4 wheel alignment gear to do race cars for this purpose as it makes a hell of a difference.

if i get the tracking....should it help prevent some of the torque steer i get?

[Nick]

If your driving a Turbo Nova i think the torque steer will never go away, it' may help it slightly.

My dad used to have an AX GTi pushing 140bhp, it used to torque steer like hell because it was so overpowered for it's weight.

[S_Gault]

if the tracking is toe out it will wander a lot.. gives similiar feel to torque steer only its not.

Yes this will improve.

If you want to experince torque steer try my racer car.. Mini with 148bhp, dog box and LSD on slicks. (weighs 541kg!!)
