Neither, good effort though.

The strutts were originaly assembled by myself and LooKnee so we know all the mounts etc are in place and fine

If car now sits lower would the camber now be more advanced? I know it's supposed to have had a Geo but bearing in mind that they didn't release the tension on wishbone bush and reset it........

No, the camber is the right track....

The camber was so negative that as the tyre warmed it expanded just enough to touch the strutt!

The gap was very small when cold between the the tyre and strutt.

Note, this camber setup was 'in the green'

'green', we know, isn't good enough.

Mind you, must have been right on the limit of green to heat tyre that much :o

Must admit, that the tyres do seem very close to the strut on my Elite but didn't know if it was because of the angle when looking at them on full lock.

Also wondered if the Dunlops which have rim protection made the construction slightly more 'bulbous'?

rim protection only on outside, not inside?

Thought the Dunlops (9090 / Sport Max) were directional so can only be fitted one way regardless of side?

Ah! I only ever buy tyres in pairs so I guess that makes it easy for whoever I buy them from.
