No such thing as chamber nut. Front wheel always can adjust....not the 90s la...ask them.find some scam.like surbo to recommend

cool! i was worrying changing the tyre size they find excuse with the chamber nut thingy to charge me

city stock camber front wheel is fix,cant be adjusted.only alignment can be adjust. if the value of camber deviates much or tyre wear serious,might need to consider fixing.

which means most probably they will advise me to change chamber.. since i changing the tyre size as well.... if sticking the small tyre, for sure no impact on stock chamber..

in case anyone searching on this info as well, today i have changed the tyre and no chamber needed to change. Recommend Syarikat Kee Hin at old klang road :-)

chamber nut is a scam, if you really involve in serious accident only people will recommend to change. If you go oversea, only Malaysia got this kind of chamber nut change.. lol.. BTW, if they tell you cannot adjust is bluff. It can be adjusted but minimal, the chamber nut is the screw that tighted to your absorber behind your brake hub. The absorber hole usually is larger a bit and not totally fit and got some allowance to adjust the chamber.

the absorber and the hole is actually fit.have seen it.the hole cant be larger.if u use smaller screw in larger whole,when u run into small pothole then the camber might run,into the maximum clearance of the hole.

Did you ask them to loosen the screw of the chamber nut and ask them push the brake hub or move the absorbers?
Even your eyes see is fit, but the hole is not 100% same as per screw diameter. It can be adjusted but minimal as per explanation, i personally did my car before so i know.
If you in doubt just use a caliper and measure the hole on the absorbers/brake hub with both the screw to it. There are for sure some clearance between it.
FYI, factory chamber adjustment for sure one side will be out due to Malaysian road condition, our roads are not flat due to drainage for rain water so if out a bit is still consider acceptable.
The most important is the total toe adjustment must be in the green acceptable range.
