Does any one know the correct Max and Min Caster and Camber angles?
What angel of change does a standard thickness of shim give on the caster?
Currently I have the following spec:-
Castor +3 deg .00 min to +4 deg 0.00 min
Camber -0 deg 30 min to +0 deg 30 min

You can't add any more shims should you need to increase the castor unless you do this mod...……………

More castor would increase the self-centring action which my car needs but haven't plucked up the courage to get the hacksaw out as yet!

Thanks for the information guys, having looked at the problem further I think I have fixed the camber and I need to take it back to the garage to have it checked.
Question, is the set up the same as a Griffith? Because looking at the test pint off sheet it says Griffith along the top.

I have these top wishbones fitted in 2012 by the then willowsports who are no more, easy to adjust with one simple locking bolt and nut, l think St8 six may still sell them, but no sure.
