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!

Pushing the tops of the struts outwards will give you positive camber. Look at it from the side, and remember that the spindle is (more or less) attached solidly to the strut. So move the top of the strut inward toward the centerline of the car, and that will move the top of the tire in. Negative camber! Move the top of the strut outward, and you move the top of the tire outward--positive camber!

Whew, glad it was a simple one.
