I'm having some trouble setting up the camber on the front after replacing the Heim joints & ball joints.
The car is up on stands at present, no wheels or hubs.
From what I have read you level the lower control arm then measure the angle between this and the face of the steering knuckle.
The two lower Heims are half way out , the two uppers and the upper ball joint are screwed all the way in, I make the angle to be 0° at these settings.
I can't see how I can get -1° without the lower two Heims screwed a long way out.
Also the new upper ball joints have a shorter threaded length , so will not screw in as far.
Before, the two lowers had a couple of threads showing and the uppers were screwed all the way in but I don't know what the angle was.
Any advice much appreciated, thanks.
