Camber plate adjustment question...

[Vipergrün]

Hello all...

Please excuse my attempt at *art*

My pic below tries to depict the passenger side
strut tower where the bolts attach to the camber plate
in two possible positions, A and B. The red would be the
actual plate and the squares are where the bolts pass thru.

For item *A*, the front bolt is maxed out for negative camber
and positive caster. However, the rear bolt holes in *A* show the possibility of additional negative camber, as shown in item *B*.

Is this a correct assumption? If so, will the gains be minimal?

Does anyone know of pushing both left and right camber plates all the way in-board and back will acheive similar settings on both sides, assuming no tub damage, of course? It seems that would dictate to max negative camber and max positive caster for both sides.

Thanks!

Yes; Back and to the inside >> should << maximize your camber and caster, assuming that the chassis tolerances are dead on, everything is straight, etc. etc. etc.

As Felex used to say, never assume, since it makes an ....

I wouldn't change the settings unless you can measure the results. If you've done it a few times before and calibrated the adjustments, then in an emergancy you can do it based on your previous measurements. Otherwise I'd dial in the settings based on the measurements at the wheel, not at the strut-top.
