Hi can anyone help me with setting up my suspension plz, I've fitted coilovers and camber bolts, got the car tracked up and drives straight but the guy said camber is well off. (For some reason didn't want to do it) I played about with it on my drive got it better but the drivers side inner part of tyre slightly touches shock leg wen I turn sharply, quickly to the left. Can anyone recommend a DIY way of doing cambers myself plz.

youll never do it yourself mate-remove the camber bolts and just go with the 2 holes set in the bottom of each strut unless its those types with slots that allow the camber to be adjustered (never a fan of these tbh).

its a pain because if you ever need to remove the strut again with slotted camber holes you need to go get an alignment done again afterwards.

its possible to do it yourself, like they did it in the old times with rope or wooden stick, but its not that accurate

A rough way of at least getting them both the same is to get a spirit level about 18" long and put that vertically on the tyre. This is the way it was done before modern alignment equipment came on the scene, albeit you adjusted the level on a scale and then adjusted the camber until the bubble was central. It sounds like you've got a touch too much negative camber on one side. Coilovers? Don't you love 'em!

I tried it today with a spirit level and I think I got them both the same and it still goes straight ?.

Nice one!
