Camber probs on Nova :(

[PE4]

Hi, My nova is lowered 80mm ish at the front and the wheels are at a fair old angle, how can I solve this as the insides of the tyres are wearing out quicker than they should.

Cheers

there's a camber mod guide somewhere on here, i can't be arsed looking so you'll have to look yourself :lol:

Easiest way is to take it to a garage and ask them to do it, or you can buy a camber bolt kit and try it yourself.

either redrill the top mount holes 7mm further outboard and weld a washer on or fit camber bolt to the bottom of the strut and have it setup with a camber guage

[benji]

the strut might need the hole opening out to let the bolts work their magic

If you decide to tackle it yourself this might come in handy

did you and stu ever sort yours mate :?:

[Stuart]

nope lol

and ive had fack all time to even consider it sorry

that camber gauge is pretty cool! Not bad for the price.

The 7mm washer weld job was posted on here as a guide by Micky about 12 yrs ago - he removed it when he decided to leave the site for good...

(remembers "the battle of the admins" at the time)

[Aragorn]

not exactly complex thing to do, simply drill the hole 7mm further over and weld a washer over the new hole

[PE4]

Not having any welding gear I would rather use the bolts idea. I did a search and found a camber adjustment bolt kit from demon tweeks for ?40 odd. This seem worth it?

Might be easier to buy some Eccentric (adjustable) top mounts, which will move the top of the strut in, out, front or back.
Costly at about 100 quid but but will allow you to get it spot on.
Get these from TAS, Rally Design, Demon Tweeks etc.

Regal sell a kit by k-mac and its a very strong looking bolt kit compared with some iv seen.

[Stuart]

the regal kit looks badly home made

[david dixon]

we carn't be talking about the kit i bought from them! its the strongest iv seen.

[Ste_Nova]

you don't need to weld washers in... 7mm is almost enough for a new hole!

no chance of it slipping into the old one

also drill them 8mm? so the thread just slips through with no movement
