The handbook states for the front ‘the correct camber angle is ½° to 1 ½°
positive with the car unladen’.

For the rear it states ‘the correct camber angle is 1 ½° to 2° negative with the car unladen'.

I’m not sure if the handbook is for the Vixen or M chassied Vixen 2500 though. It would be great if someone could clarify.

Please don't put positive camber on, it looks ridiculous. (Dads Vixen 2S owners book says the same, pos front an neg rear)

I don't know what it was with early cars and positive camber, my mini is the same, standard factory settings can be anything up to 2 degrees positive camber on the front.

0.5 to 1 degree negative all round is where I'd be starting.

was reading a back issue today, and noticed this tuscan looks to have factory recommended camber angles!
