  1. hi tony

     

    Its been a while since i annoyed you.

     

    Little bit more information.

     

    This picture (http://img122.imageshack.us/i/frontright2uh.jpg/) isnt my tyre by it is almost exactly what my front right looks like even down to the measurements. i would even go so far as to say mine is a little more worn on the inside shoulder. almost 22k miles on the fronts now.

     

    From the last geo report my front camber is as follows: LH -1 22' RH -1 20', which says that the front left has slightly deeper negative camber.

     

    However, and this is the key part. when the car is parked on any flat surface, it is obvious visually that the RH front has more negative camber than the left. its in more at the top and out more at the bottom. Why does the geo reading disagree with visual inspection (and its not my sight, its very obvious to a lot of people)? surely as both sides read close to the same value, they should look the same?

     

    Am just about to get new tyres and probably new wheels as my badly need a refurb and require constant air pressure checks and topping up. I dont want to get new tyres just to have the inside shoulder wear away again quickly.

     

    Also what do you make of these? http://www.performancealloys.com/chamber-a...ment-bolts.aspx

     

    cheers as always tony

     

    The wing probably isn't straight whichs why it looks different, regardless a visual inspction doesn't rally mean anything. Also those camber bol don't apply to Mondeos due to the way the strut mates up wth the hub.

  2. Camber all round at the base of the struts and toe all round on tierods. Tierods tend to seize, especialy on the rear. 30mm isn't a huge drop so I wouldn't expect camber bolts to be necessary. Adjustable tension rods for castor would be awesome, though by no means a necessity. :blink:

  3. Gradualy pulling off the front and rear axles.

    It's surprising how much stuff there is; little things I hadn't thought of. Not to mention all those little cnut rotten 14mms nuts and bots. Getting the front lip off was a right ballache.
