You did say you need yours adjusting and even one pair is perhaps one pair too many. Unless of course, you keep changing your suspension set up, but even then toe is more important. Never changed mine and my tyres last way longer than 40k. I change tyres when they're old or when they're scrubbed due to exuberant cornering. Other than that I leave my cambers alone and so does my tech.

oh, perhaps you do get a hint.

Not due to cambers on, to paraphrase you, point a-b cars. Its just my driving style and I still don't change camber bolts and many a-b drivers don't need to either despite what tire shops want them to think and that was the issue.

Whatever. Keep changing for a-b pointers. Let people get fleeced. Not my problem. You see that as necessary and yet want to say so much when I say otherwise. You have your views with others and I have mine also with others. Fact is, I never changed nor bothered about camber setting on my cars and they do just as well.

Notice that I have not mentioned any of my opinions /specifics besides my car has done camber adjustment and majority of our cars (in Malaysia ) does not allow camber adjustment on stock form.

Try not assume everything about me /everyone or worse, putting words /opinions on my mouth. laugh.gif

why by default, we can't do camber adjustment?
and what is the maximum acceptable camber degree we have to look at before we need to adjust?

because most vehicles have fixed bolts/do not have strut camber plates.

usually if your car is not involve in accidents/really bad potholes, camber won't run out.
usual tolerance is within +/- 1 degree.

should have tell him to print out your alignment/camber readings before we determine if the shop is a rip off.

for 2 piece of camber screw, rm70 is a bit of a rip off, however including labor to adjust at the absorbers, it's not as bad as one think ASSUMING you actually do need a camber adjustment.

If i don't mess with my camber. My car scrape it's inner fenders. So sad.

[attachmentid=4696910]

Inilah baru power. Tak payah camber bolt. Just take a dremel and grind away at the bolt holes. If got time, weld a plate with a bolt to control the adjustment and keep the entire setting in place.

P/s: my camber bolts only cost like under rm15 per pair at a hardware shop.
