[alxlaw]

iv heard i need to modifie the hub ?!?!! not to sure how but defo need help on this one, any tips wud be gr8 thx alex

To change the camber you don't have to modify the hub. You have three options (I think)

1) Eccentric top mounts. These are rose-jointed adjustable top mounts and will give you control over the caster and camber. I think these are about ?100 - ?130 or so.

2) Redrill the holes where the front suspension mounts on to the car out a bit (There is a guide around somwehere). This costs nothing

3) I've also heard of camber bolts that I believe replace the bolts that attach the strut to the hub. I haven't got a clue about this option though.

depends what you want to change your camber to, if you want soem good ol negative then swap the lower arms for some corsa ones. Will kill tyres to fuck though.

no i already have severe negative camber - probably down to the lowering kit (60mm), and the alloys (et35)!!!, betweent the two i have an angle of about 20-30 degreez out think the tracking is ok but tyre wise there gonna get eaten!!!

You need to re-drill the top mounts 7mm from the original hole, but this would leave you with a rectangle type hole, so you have to weld a washer on.

the camber adjust bolts are bolts with the middle section shaped like a cam and you put them in one of the 2 holes on the bottom of each strut.

you can turn them so the strut sits further or closer to the engine bay and then tighten them up when you think its right.

(maybe a garage will do it accuratly using lasers i don't know if they would allow doing it this crude way).
