Decided to buy a camber tool ... eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

Also found this on the internet (should i apply this to my 'Rons Locost' Money pit) ....
Its from Super7.dk

Ride height
Recommend 75mm for the sump clearance. The rear should be 12-15mm higher than the front.
150mm at front measured from chassis rail where rear arm of lower wishbone is mounted and 15mm more just in front of mounting of rear A-frame.

Original front suspension specifications:
Toe-in: 1/16" to 1/8" (1.6 to 3.2mm)
Camber angle: 0 to 1 deg. positive
Castor angle: 5 deg.
King-pin Inclination: 9 deg.


The only thing that can adjusted is the Toe-in, and the original specification is for diagonal tyres. I have been advised to reduce the Toe-in to 1mm when using radial tyres.

A way (modification) to adjust the camber angle is described here DSK offset trunnion. Again using modern radial tires might require a different setting, DSK suggest that 1/2 degree of negative camber is suitable for street use.

Toe in is another degrees measurement really, if you use a distance its going to vary on tyre size etc.
Ive always been told 0-1 deg toe in for rwd, 0-1deg toe out for FWD.

Camber gauge is same as I have , just remember to set to zero correctly first.
Caterham parts are a waste of money as you would need to change the complete front set up to fit them.
If you have 75mm under the sump and 150mm under the chassis, this would indicate that your sump is hanging 75mm below the chassis, have you reduced the sump, or is it still as standard?
The camber adjustment is going to be by how the car handles, some set at zero, others at a negative setting, (mine is at 1/4 degree Neg). A possitive setting will give you understeer, not what you want on a sporty car, :-) IMHO

Hows your self centering with your setup?

When I did SVA in 2006 it hardy had any, but the tester was pretty cool with it, now 9000+ miles, and everything has bedded down its great. Mind you it did improve greatly after just a couple of hundred miles. Cheers Ray

Thats what I found once i took it round the block a few times - started to 'feel better'
must loosen up or somthing..
cheers..
