Adjustable Castor & Camber
Has anyone devised a simple way of incorporating adjustable castor & camber into the book front end?

camber on the track rod end and castor using spacer washers in the mounting brakets to move either the upper or lower wishbone fore or aft has been
used before.

GTS tuning sell a simple camber adjuster system for the front wishbones.
It constist of an internally threaded sleave (with a hex end) which fits inside the wishbone tube and has the transit balljoint screwed into it with a
locknut to keep it secure.
It looks like this:
As for castor, it's harder to make adjustable, but you could make it adjustable by useing wider brackets for the top wishbone and use shims
for move it fore and aft., Ours is going to be fixed at 5.5 degrees i think.

You'd adjust the toe with the track rod end surely?

Its not that much hastle to adjust the camber with a normal set up rather then the GTS set up, its just extra cost for the luxusry of setting it up a
bit quicker. Unless your running different wheel tyre combinations in different weather on different tracks its all a bit 'bling' really
all IMHO.

Stressy meant the Transit rod end used in the upper wishbone, not the one on the end of the steering rack.

MikeRJ spot on,
By track rod i am reffering to the threaded upper joint.
