I am new to this but I am trying to adjust my front camber on my 914 per the instructions on the Pelican Tech article. I currently have about 1 degree of positive camber and it seems I have no more adjustment? I've only adjusted the front upper strut support mount and I know I need to adjsut the toe first, but what happens if you are out of adjustment and you want more negative camber? Is there another adjustment location, or am I SOL? Any help is appreciated!

I'd like to see some pics of that.
1 degree positive camber is the best you can get? How high is your front end? The lower you set the front end, the more negative your camber will be. Positive camber would have the tire leaning out at the top, negative has the tire leaning in at the top. Is the camber the same on both sides? (+1 degree) Do you have bent struts? You need to set ride height/corner balance first, then set toe, then set camber then set caster then recheck/adjust toe, check/readjust camber....... |
