I've installed the Life110 springs to my A110 and planning to get the geo adjusted by an indepent, very good tyre mechanic, but he hasn't done it at an A110 so far.
Camber adjustment at the rear axle it is pretty much self explaining, as it has excentric bolts at both lower wishbone mounts. By turning both by the self amount the lower wishbone moves exactly parallel in lateral direction.
But the front axle only has one excentric bolt. Looking at the drawing below, I would assume that turning the excentric bolt rotates the lower wishbone forward or backward, so adjusting the wheel base rather than the camber. That would also lead to tension at the damper mountings, as the damper gets twisted. Do I get something wrong here?

You’re overthinking it, the front adjuster is a single one for camber. Changes castor but this isn’t adjustable, but it doesn’t matter anyway.

Okay. So I guess it is not necessary to loosen the rear wishbone mount bolt then when adjusting camber and it can remain tightened.
