Hi Martin.

I don't know where I got the idea from, but somewhere (ipd, fcp, robert etc) I picked up the idea that I should lift the brake disc and steering knuckle before tightening the knuckle to strut bolts.

ie go for the max lean in of the top of the knuckle.

That has given me an acceptable camber whenever I have subsequently had it checked.

And it seems like the easy option.

Hope that helps.
Steve
