Jac Mac,

Don't forget that with camber compensating suspension which we have here the top link (mainly) will have pulled on more negative camber, possibly the order of a couple of degrees so the tyre is probably flat on the road. Same effect as you hypothesise, just not so pronounced. BTW Ross has confirmed he has set camber to -4 degrees (Damn can't get the ALT 248 thing to work!) Presumably this is the figure that keeps it working across all the tyre.

I think he's got to get the car set up symetrically before exploring other options.

Cheers
