(Home) Front suspension camber adjustment

my masterace surf (20L 4WD EFi grand saloon) has a problem, the front passenger wheel has got a little bald around the tyre (on the outside )i took it into a garage to get the tracking checked and he said that the tracking was fine but the camber needed ajusting (way over my head) what?how? and where? can i get this done i live in the manchester area.

thanks TONY

It's normal to scrub the outside edge , especially if you drive hard. Was he using the correct figures for 4x4? (different)
If it does need adjustment, the bottom wishbone sits on eccentrics (complete with little markings for adjustment), whoever can set the tracking should be able to manage that.

thanks to everyone who gave me all the info for my masterace lights ,brakes and camber ajustment,hope you dont mind but i will be one asking lots of triviel questions as a jump from a granada to a masterace is quite a big one,i got the car because i have a lot of disabilities and the masterace fits all my needs, i am not very good with the mechanics side but can manage the odd little job with your help.

thanks again
