front camber

[willy3]

lowered na williams with avo struts and 35mm lowereing springs off a clio 16v and the front wheels have a very large camber in... was wondering if the clio 16v struts are different from the williams or if i need to get camber adjusting bolts for the shocks???

[Rich]

shocks dont fit due to the wider front track of a williams so yes your camber will be screwed beyond belief! best sell up and get the correct ones for the car IMO, herad a couple of horror stories with camber bolts

[willy3]

what shocks work best on the williams

[Rich]

not in a place to say myself but richy has had coilovers and original dampers with uprated springs (200lb i think) and he ****ed the coilovers off as they original dampers and uprated springs work better for him and his is a road going track slag so it gets driven propely!

[willy3]

will try that first as the originals look ok thanks..... any other suggestions to what works best is welcomed :lol:

you can adjust camber :-) however its a bodge.. drill a groove out in your ball joints so that you can slide the ball joint in and out.. tighten on prefered camber.

Sounds like a plan to me gunner, for the record i guess you mean the lower ball joint to wishbone bolts

[VIPERONE]

yes, the part that bolts on to the wishbones and then in to hub carrier.. it does work, i found out by error, i used the wrong diameter bolts(thinner allowing alight movement.... another way of doing it.

[Lunner]

Much cheaper, and by the sounds of it stronger and better than camber correcting bolts

[willy3]

cheers for the suggestions but i decided to buy the proper shocks for it so i have 2 new avo adjustable shocks coming my way so if any one wants some 16v ones give me a shout :lol:
