So, recently I've replaced upper and lower ball joints, and track rod ends for both sides at the front. All parts from TVR-Parts.

I put it all together roughly guessing at angles, and took it to have its geometry set up.

Turns out there is not enough adjustment to set the correct amount of Camber, on the Passenger-Side only.

Its currently sitting at -1.11°, and was aiming for -0.75° however the adjusters are at there max for +ve camber, by the looks of it, I can only go more -ve (I.e. top of wheel inwards).

Has anyone else experienced this?
The guy doing the setup suggested extending the slots in the top wishbones, so allowing more adjustment?

I'm a little confused tho - why has this happened?

Nothing on the car is bent, it has never been in a knock etc.

Tho it is the first time I've had a full geo setup done, only ever tracking before.

Pics below with suspension at full-droop (jacked up and wheels off)...









Any thoughts \ experiences much appreciated!

So do not worry if thats what you have to do.
That's kinda what I wanted to hear!

The ride height is standard - its on original spribgs & dampers.

Cheers!
