adjustable camber
just wondering whether there is a easy way to adjust the camber on my stuart taylor blade? Because at the the moment i have to split the top arm off
the hub and mess about loads.
is there a adjustable kit or something to buy??

I'd be interested in this too!
I have seen a diagram before for a threaded sleave/lock nut arrangement that allows asy adjustment without dismantling. It would require the tube in
the top wishbone to be smooth internally (not threaded) which might mean new wishbones.
Thinking about it the GTS wishbones might work like this?

The GTS ones are 'supposed' to work like that but the inside of the 'V' where the 2 top bone tubes meet the normally threaded
boss is too tight an angle to allow the threaded sleve to turn!( it had a hex hear on it for adjustment)!

This is the thing from GTS (pic from their website). It fits inside the wishbone tube with the nut end facing in towards the car. The ball joint
lock nut is fitted to the ball joint before the ball joint is screwed into the adjuster from the wheel side.
loosening the lock nut means you can then turn the nut on the adjuster to move the ball joint in or out as required and then fe-tighten the locknut.
As above you'll need wishbones to suit, with larger diameter unthreaded tube of the right internal diameter.

Hadn't realised that - that would be annoying!

Bear in mind that if you use a camber adjuster on the top wishbone, then the tracking will need resetting after every adjustment.

Hi, got mine from GTS and they work a treat, very easy to adjust.

I made my own wishbones, so allowed room for the adjustment to be made. Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy
