The new upper arms passed the x-ray and crack tests with flying colours today. Chuffed as. Can't wait to get them installed.

Id say you set them up once and that would be it.
The gem if it is that you could lover the van and
The camfer would be adjusted to suit ,
Then thats it.

You are right Vintage, but one full  turn of the nut on each joint equates to 1mm of adjustment so once you have your initial machine reading it should only take one or two goes to get each side spot on. As Marty points out its not something you are going to need to do that often, but it sure beats running out the edges of your tyres due to poor camber.

Hi Vintage, factory spec for camber is +1 degree according to the alignment machine database.
