Camber change due to increasing ride height.

[Pink_Floyd]

As the suspension uses unequal wishbones, anyone know what the change to camber angle is to the front and back if you increase the ride height by 10mm front and back.

I dont think that there is an answer to this.

If you have a level garage floor you can have a rough check.

Roll the car backwards and forwards a few times to allow the suspension to settle.

Use an 18" or similar level and put vertically across your wheel rims. You should have the slightest negative camber.

If you are clever, have a hand, a protractor and a straight edge you can measure the angle. At least you can see if you are in the ballpark and eventyally get it set with the correct equipment.

Have a look at this thread at tvrgits picture. If you measure and mark you angles accurately on the piece of wood you will be about there. Good enough for me.

That's a really interesting thread Ian.

Having just tweaked my ride height I'll be using the plumb bob method tomorrow!

Ye i was impressed when i saw it. Couldnt really be any simpler.
