Casar66 Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 Hey guys, Am I right in assuming that the front wheel camber isn't adjustable? Have a nice day! Cas Quote
RogerH Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 Normally you are right but it can be adjustable. Roger Quote
Casar66 Posted July 5 Author Report Posted July 5 would you be so kind, Roger, and tell me how? Quote
RogerH Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 I haven't a clue but it has been mentioned here not long ago. Either do a search or wait for a brighter person than me to sort it out. Roger Quote
RobH Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 There are kits for this. https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/en-gb/adjustable-front-upper-fulcrum-kit-200659x Quote
RogerH Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 Just found this https://www.revingtontr.com/product/rtr3174k/name/fulcrum-kit-upper-tr4a-6#:~:text=This kit enables accurate setting,turret allowing accurate camber setting. Roger Quote
PodOne Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 Hi Cas If you can afford to wait I am working on a better solution after trying a MK1 version. The MK2 is currently being worked up. It should give roughly 2 +ve to 4 -ve with no messing with the lower wishbones shims or need to weld anything. Andy Quote

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 Racetorations do a rose jointed adjustable top wishbones set. No welding required https://www.racetorations.co.uk/product/rose-joint-adjustable-upper-wishbone-kit-tr2-6/ Quote
Casar66 Posted July 5 Author Report Posted July 5 Thank you guys, I know those kits. But is it possible without extra parts? Quote
Hamish Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 You can shorten the top wishbones but that need cutting welding and a brace plate in each. otherwise no you need parts / kits and tools to measure the camber Quote
Steve 286 Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 To add camber I would fit more shims behind the bottom wishbone brackets Quote
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 I specified a batch of vertical posts machined to set the stub axle at a different angle to change the camber. The first set are in my TR3 and work fine. I have no idea if Moss continued with the small batch production for the performance inspired owners. Quote

Means, without adding or losing shim or bending (the vertical link due e.g. a crash) the camber can not change? Edited July 5 by Casar66 Quote
Steve 286 Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 Yes that is right to get more negative camber you add shims with modern tyres I try to get 1 to 1 1/4 degrees negative camber both sides the shims are easy to make yourself if you undo the nuts going through the chassis from the bottom wishbone bracket you can pull the shims out or add more in so no need to totally disassemble Quote
Steve 286 Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 I forgot to say always put the same amount of shims on the same side front and back wishbones Quote
Casar66 Posted July 5 Author Report Posted July 5 This sounds logical to me. Can I use just ordinary washers as shims? Quote

Steve 286 Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 I would make shims as they are slotted so you can slide them in place if you take one out you can use it as a template Quote
Steve 286 Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 Here is a picture of a shim you could use washers but you would need to remove the wishbone bracket to fit them i wouldn’t recommend using washers Quote
Drewmotty Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 You can fine tune the camber by slotting the ball joint mounting holes in the top wishbones. Quote

Drewmotty Posted July 6 Report Posted July 6 Both of my cars have slotted wishbones and neither have ever slipped. They are very lightly loaded but can be adjusted and then tack the washers in place to prevent slipping. Quote
Casar66 Posted July 6 Author Report Posted July 6 (edited) Thank you so far. I will go with the shims, should be the easiest way. Edited July 6 by Casar66 Quote
