robmar Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 as I am going for acb10's I want to change the front suspension settings so they are more suited, I reckon I know what needs to be done but have a few questions... 1. I need to obviously change the camber and to do this I need to remove the ball joint thingy at the top of the upright, I am guessing there is a tool to do this, can I get this from somewher like halfrauds 🤔 2. assuming that I have a standard radial setup (it was setup and flat floored by caterham) how many turns (and which way) do I need to rotate it to get a typical cross ply setup 🤔 is there anything else I should be worried about doing what appears to be a relatively simple job 🤔 also got my freestyle front adjustable bar so will do that at the same time rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F355GTS Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Rob I would imagine you need a ball joint splitter to undo it, Halfords will sell these, as to number of turns it might be a bit too vague, if you can guarantee the car is on flat and level ground you can use a sprit level vertically to determine the camber angle before starting and then adjust until there is no camber Make sure the Steering's straight when checking it Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Carmichael Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 I found it easier to remove the brake caliper and the bottom nut and rotate the whole upright without having to split the taper at the top. You should be aiming for ~1degree negative camber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
