Wheel alignment question,again.

[Rich]

it can do mate, it doesnt happen to many but there is always the unlucky ones that it happens to, tbh if the spring is a little worn i reckon it may affect it but is not likely considering that the camber is only normally knocked out a degree or tow with much more lowering.
i would lean more towards something being slightly bent as against worn with it being acoule of degrees. I wouldnt worry that much mate i know its just an annoying thing, i have all this to come friday when bayliss 4 wheel alignes mine i think i'm just gonna close my eyes and let him not tell me if anything is out

you know the car looses its appeal a little with issues like this.for me (as i'm sure for most of us)its all about the driving experience and if I dont have that well...
wont give up though.gonna try the camber bolt as a temporary solution and maybe sometime later look into finding the component thats out.
good chatting to ye.

just gonna add the wheel in question.the height seems Ok to me.

check the bolts in the ball joints are the correct thickness. they need to fill the hole and be tight.. if thinner bolt is used this canmake things seem out

cheers gunner.
you dont happen to have any photos of the williams front suspension components handy?winston has a photo of his on the site but i cant see behind the brake disks.

right i am attaching also the instructions for the installation of camber bolts.this is just for reference to the discussion today.

If you look at both of the picture 3's the top one is getting positive camber and the bottom one is getting negative camber.notice how it shows the positioning change in the tie rod end?Pretty sure that adjusting the camber will also adjust the steering wheel.

Here is a view of 16S suspension components.Is it similar on the Willy?
Gunner can you identify the ball joints?
Rich,whats your gut feeling on which component would draw the wheel negatively?

[Rich]

right ball joint bolts are number 3 on the diagram and the first thing i would personally check for damage would be the damper leg, if you dont know enough history of the car its worh checking mate

I do believe your right Rich.

YABADABADOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Steering is straight.
Thanks Rich and Mat for the tip.

tomorrow i'll be investigating that camber problem but already it feels normal again with a straight steering wheel.well pleased.

Ok quick edit.
now is tomorrow if you know what I mean.
the camber problem doesnt exist anymore.they must have sorted it out with the top mounts and track rod ends.since i placed the steering wheel straight it all makes sense.so those camber bolts are going back to k-tec.
see ya's later.
