X1 on the last post. Positive camber is really odd. Performance cars from the 70's n 80's (BMW's for example) had pronounced negative camber. So, that's not really relevant to Henry's apparent problem. Check all the track rod ends n settings as suggested. Problems with the bushes and bearings in the swivel housing would manifest in more radical ways. And another duh suggestion; are the wing panels straight when viewed from the front? In other words is the body skewed rather than the wheels?

Henry don't like me pointing camera lenses up his privates but I'll pretend I'm taking a snap of his front bumper. Last day at work today so back to knocking several bells out of him on Thursday. So much to do now. Including finding a flat bit somewhere so I can prod him ont level.

It does indeed but hardly determinable visually without the use of a camber gauge.

Well I ad alook.................
Both swivels fine but the off side one needed a shim out. Didnt manage the steering stuff but will have a look tomorrow weather permuting.
Booking in for his MOT in the morning so checking the usual will be on the cards before the tracking.
That one shot is messy ruddy stuff. I was wearing most of it by close of play.
I did notice the inner most areas of the front tyres are wearing faster than the outer so it seems something is amiss.
