Hi to all
I desperately need the technical data for both Tracking & Camber on a 1990 'G reg' Spacecruiser. YR2 chassis, 1998 cc Auto, 3Y engine. It's scrubbing out the inside of the front tyres (to the cords) within 12 months. So there is something wrong. The top & bottom ball joints are in good order with no appreciable play and track rod ends are new. Is the camber adjustable and how?
Thanks in anticipation.

Dave,
The camber is adjustable and unless you know what you are doing and have all the guages etc, not for the home mechanic to try.
Anyway here goes -
Camber 30' =/- 30'
Steering axis inclination 10 degrees +/- 30'
Caster 2 degrees 5' +/- 30'
Each graduation of the adjusting cam =
13'30" camber change and 12' caster change.
Each turn of the strut bar nut = 25' Caster change.

Toe-in, 0 +/- 1mm

Right adjusting cam on the front side of the lower suspension arm. Under the dirt you will see the alignment marks on the plate behind the big nut holding the arm on. Torque the nut to 1,550 kg-cm or 112 ft-lb after adjustment.

Best of luck

Thanks for that Clive.
I have just had 2 new tyres fitted this afternoon. A year ago to the day that I last had 2 fitted. The same garage has a laser tracking and geometry computer gizmo, which should deal with the problem.

Thanks cobber !!
