jammy Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 188 mile round trip according to my trip computer lol. Worth it though wont be long for ive puntted out another 2000 miles orso so will be sortin tyres out and hopfully a camber kit ny then.if i can find one and one last setup and she should be good for a while do you think the camber is to do with wheel slightly out or im thinkin the camber may have worn the egde of tyre slightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammy Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 So could the topplate on one side be more worn then the other? As thay are startin to split round the tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's more likely there's a bend in the chassis, probably the hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still along way no matter which route you take though! Bet you didn't take your PC up did you??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
