I have noticed a bit of camber on my wheels lately, and quite possibly, more on the drivers side than the passenger. I figured it was because the car is low and has always been like this, however I raised it back to standard with FE2 springs and I still noticed a bit of camber on the wheel, and the inside of the drivers tyre is a bit worn. What can cause this? The IRS cradle doesnt look damaged, and it has a camber kit. Can the camber kit be adjusted at all?

After your changed your springs back to fe2 did you get a wheel alignment? This could be the cause of your problem.

you can adjust them, the center shaft of the bush is offset
you twist the center to change the angles, it a fun job :S

Maybe one of the nuts has come loose and is out of adjustment .

all the IRS cars have a little camber. How much are you talking about? it's only ment to be a few degree's of camber tho.

I have heard of the cradles cracking . Do they all crack in the same spot or is it random.

Its always the same area, they just tend to crack to one side (never a clean split right down the middle)
