Omega General Help / Re: Camber geometry confusion. Can it be adjusted?

« on: 05 March 2012, 22:12:46 »

Well I spoke to Tony at WIM this morning, emailed over the geometry report and he reckons he can adjust it all to his own spec, so i'll drive it over there on Friday. I'm just going to get my mechanic to check over it first and make sure that the wishbone bushes, steering idler and rear coils are ok (common problems according to Tony) first. Then hopefully he can sort it from there!

Thanks for all your help everyone! I'll let you know if it fixes it!

Thank you, I'll send him a mail now, I've got the report in front of me now and it's actually the 'caster' that seems to be out but they definitely told me it was the camber. Can anyone recommend a specialist in the South Wales area for any adjustments that might be necessary?

Yes I got the place for the WIM website, they were great but very rushed as it was 4pm on a saturday and they clearly wanted t oshut up shop and go home!

Omega General Help / Camber geometry confusion. Can it be adjusted?

« on: 04 March 2012, 14:25:05 »

Hi all,
I've just bought a 2001 2.2 CD and am very happy with it, however... I'd noticed that the steering wheel was pointing slightly over to the right when travelling in a straight line on the motorway, and the right front tyre was slightly worn on the inside edge. So I took it to a geometry setting specialist to have the tracking looked at, I went to Discount Tyres in Cwmbran - South Wales (as recommended by Wheels-in-motion through your site) who did a very thorough check.

They told me that the problem is the camber of the front left wheel was completely out, and it is none adjustable and was caused by hitting a pothole. Is this correct? Should i take it to vauxhall for another opinion? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as I'm really enjoying the car and would hate to have to get rid of it. I would post the report but I can't see how to show images in the post.
