chicken Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 could there be a higer source that can help me i could do with a bit of advice this is the first car ive built and on the whole i feel quite satisfied but one problem the front wheels on the near side seem to sit at a funny angle now is it possible that this is how it is supposed to sit its the car which you build by buying the magazines so as you can imagine the car stands in at nearly 600 quid so i need the thing to be right ......

r.lepecha Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) its meant to it will be camber(i think thats the rite one) or toe in/out Edited March 16, 2008 by r.lepecha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex199020 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 As lepecha said, sounds like the cambre or toe is out. is it vertically upright and turned inwards as thought its turning or is it leaning? if you see what i mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicken Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 so matt do you know much about these kit cars then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperhuggy Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) http://tinyurl.com/3y9v6t ^^^ is that your car ? As stated previously , we could really do with a picture or two so we can see whether your issue is camber or toe. From the look of the pictures the arms cannot be adjusted, although a close up pic would prove this. There may be longer/shorter arms available to adjust camber maybe ??
