Re: Suspension setting difficulty

No nothing is bent and prior to this, each time the suspension has been worked on, this problem of running out of camber adjustment on the right has been noticed.I tried 1/2 width lock nuts but resorted to cutting back the arms ( a crude job with a cut off wheel).This shortening of the arms did allow more camber but I had lost the Datum from the original arms.2 weeks ago I got Will to remove the threaded ferrules and shorten the arms further.This he did and restored the Datum so both arms were now xmm shorter than the original length.I refitted the rose joints and set them 3 turns out.Checked camber 4.6 degrees neg left, 3.1 degrees neg right.Obviously I did some fiddling to make both sides the same and the result as I have shown seems extreme at 13mm or 1/2". I will get to the bottom of what the cause is but for now at least my settings are ok and ready for this weekends race meeting.
