Evening everyone,
My front wheels are leaning out at the top (or in at the bottom?) Not the toe in / toe out, it’s the camber. I’ve set the adjustable tie bars to the same length as standard, I’ve set the adjustable lower arms to standard length too.
What is it that I need to adjust to straighten up the wheels? Not the tracking, just camber.

You need to lengthen the lower arms. Altering lower arm length will affect toe angles and caster so they will need resetting afterwards too.

as the bottom ball joint id held in place by 2 adjustable bars you will need to adjust both untill you get both the camber and the caster correct and then you will need to do the tracking.

 

and if you have HiLos you will also need to get the cornerweights something like right which will effect the caster camber and tracking again.
