240 Front Suspension Adjustment

Hi,

Just wondering what the suspension adjustment on the top of the Sturt does. Is this for camber or caster? What way should I have this set?

When I run my 17" wheels and look straight on at the car it looks as though one wheel poles out more than the other. Maybe it's because of this adjustment!

Thanks,
Martin

It adjusts camber. Usually the best thing to do is slacken those three nuts off and push the strut as inward as you can, then tighten it back up. At your ride height that should give you -1 degree. But, better still, is if you can get the alignment shop to set the car up on their alignment machine, then knock the struts in while getting a readout from the computer, so you can set them evenly.

You don't want the spring perches resting on the strut tower though, it will grind when steering. Give it some clearance.

Is it stock style springs? Or small diameter?

Thanks for the replies guys.
I'm running the extra low DVS springs up front with after market shocks. It's probably a little bit lower than the above picture.
Maybe I should just line them up by eye?

Stock shocks/springs won't grind at maximum setting
