Hi

My first posting on this forum, but here goes....

I have an import 1995 2.0 GT Convertible (auto if it makes any difference), it is pulling to the left and the left (passenger ) front wheel is leaning in more than the right. (about half an inch more at the top if you compare sides)

had it looked at by a 4-wheel alignement place, who said they couldn't adjust the camber...

Had it looked at by my local garage/MOT place, who said they "took a few measurements underneath and everything looked identical both sides" but they thought at least one if not both of the shock-absorbers had been changed at some time. Car has done 98000km.

They also said there was no evidence of any accident repairs, and that the car was "pristine" underneath (I only drive it summer months on dry days for days out).

They suggested that possily something was either bent, or had been taken apart at some point and incorrectly re-assembled, or incorrect/badly aligned parts fitted.

I've not had any work done, and not knowingly hit anything/struck the kerb/down a big pothole either - car was also fresh to me on import.

they said without having new suspension parts to compare with they couldn't advise what was worng/bent.

Any ideas what could be causing this ?

I have seen there are camber bolts that can be bought/fitted for some cars - are these available and is this a solution ?

Or is ther a more sensible approach.

I'm based in UK, SW London....

Thanks in advance....

I have the same issue. In my case, I used camber bolts on both sides to equal the camber and bring it up to spec.

Thanks for the reply

What brand bolts did you use ?

I am having trouble working out which ones I need.

Eibach Part Number: 5.81270K are showing as 15mm, but Fensport in the UK are listing some Whiteline ones which are 17mm.

What diameter do I need ?

My car is Jap import 1995 2.0GT convertible (auto )

The car has standard Macpherson strut front suspension, not the superstrut (which I hewar is really expensiv/dfficult to sort out)

I used SPC camber bolts. They were the ones that offered the most adjustment at the time.

Before getting them make sure your strut top mounts are in good condition. If one of them is sagging it'll make the wheel on its side have negative camber, too.
