I had the wheels aligned the technician told me that he was unable to adjust the camber and caster to the required specification.
The car has 911 struts and a five stud conversion, the front of the car shows no sign of crash damage or distortion. Any ideas what the problem could be and what do I need to check?  |

A picture of the top of the struts and how/where they sit in the cutout might help?
Also: do you know if the 911 struts were modified (dropped spindles for example)? The camber should be able to be pulled more neutral than the measurements show; perhaps a large blunt instrument (with some precise application) might persuade it... Caster is affected by the overall rake of the vehicle; if the rear is too high compared to the front (front suspension set too low, for instance), you could see the caster being hard to pull in. Curious. - Tony |
