how do other Vitara owners fix this? the camber is out of alignment, and i think the castor would be too.

at the moment, theres also slight toe in, but i will align the front end once i get new tyres.

theres really no noticable difference, only a bit more tyre wear.
and slowing right down for tighter corners.

does anyone know what i'm talking about?

i can get pics to show how much its (sort of) out of alignment.

show some pics and get some measurements between front and rear wheel centers and add some pics of the suspension and the top of the tower. I might be able to help

for the camber elongate the top holes in your front struts so you can adjust them don't worry it will never move, or alternativly you can buy off the shelf camber bolts to do the same. I don't have pics sorry. then get a wheel alignment you will be able to get the geometry spot on up to 3" lift.

camber

Post by SiKiD_01 »

i know about camber bolts, but they're too bloody expensive. $80 for a pair! bloody sh!t.

how much do you elongate the top holes? then, how do you measure the camber, so that its the same on both sides?

just another thought, instead of elongating the top holes heaps, what about a little on the top, and a little on the bottom? (top in, bottom out)

what about the castor, wouldn't that be out as well? and if it is, how do you sort that out?
