V40 camber adjustment
 
Hello.

My son has a 65 plate v40 and the front right wheel -3 deg.
We have been to an alignment garage but just said to hard to adjust.
Is there any adjustment for camber and if there is how easy is it.

Thanks

no there is no adjustment , it should be 1/2 degree negative (+ or - 1/2 degree) so basically anywhere between 0 and 1 degree negative .

Have you hit that side ?

It could be the strut itself bent or the hub on the bottom , i have seen both cases . is the gap between strut and tyre the same both sides ?

He did hit a kurb very hard and buckled the all so would imagine something is bent. What is more likely to be bent ?

Thanks

Either can be bent it depends on the angle it got hit .. did you look to see if the gap between the strut and tyre was equal both sides or not? I would change both to be sure .

No, son noticed camber one side was out visibly. Took to wheel alignment garage but said they couldnt do it so now will go to mechanic now to get sorted and check measurements.

Thanks
