    Default Alignment, and nolathane, toe/camber kit.

    Hi,

    I took my car in today for an alignment and checkup at pedders.
    Firstly, im kinda impressed with how they treated me.

    I want to know if someone could give me some advice with the numbers.
    Front camber is sweet, my front castor is about a degree off (L:R, 8.14':7.05'). As far as ive been able to find out this isnt a problem. In wear or anything?

    In the rear, i have a nolathane 46138A, bush and bolt, which i want to install tomorrow/today now.
    The numbers i got for my rear alignment were:
    camber: -2.02' : -1.53'
    toe in: -3.70' : +0.40'

    I assume that this is all going to be fixed by installing the kit on the inside mounts and adjusting it accordingly.

    I think i got myself confused that only installing on the inside would only get toe, and leave me unable to adjust camber.
    Is this true?


    TLDR:
    - will installing 46138A on the inside mounts only allow rear toe adjust (as opposed to outside mounts for camber)?
    - does front castor really matter? Will it wear the tyres?


    Any and all responses welcome.

    Cheers,

    Pat

    The front caster angles are near perfect for our roads, the difference there will stop the car pulling left following the camber of the road.

    The rear cambers are not bad, but the toe is bad. Toe is adjustable on the VX2 onwards, which series is yours?

    If yours is a series 1 then you will need a 4 point kit, otherwise fit the kits to the rear inner bushes, that will give you camber adjustment in addition the the existing toe adjustment.
