Default Too much camber



Heavy tyre wear seems to be because I have too much camber on the front wheels. Toe is out too but it’s cancelling out some of the affect of having too much camber so it has been left unadjusted or my tyre wear will get worse. Matey went under the front and pushed up taking a bit of weight of the suspension and the camber comes right, or within tolerance anyway.

So I suppose the questions are do the springs get weak and lower the ride height, or has it been lowered at some point? (I know you can’t answer that) But can ii count the coils on the spring? How many does a sport spring have?

The 8 isn’t a sport but does have sport suspension as an option from new so it might have bits replaced over the years with wrong parts maybe? Strange really because the front looks higher than the rear. If I jack it up so the camber is right it’ll look like I’m permanently going up hill.

My printer doesn't have any ink and that means it won't scan or copy ah the joy. So job sheet with the reading will follow when i get home at the wk-end maybe someone on here can make a bit more sence of it.
