How do you sort negative camber on the front suspension?

Need technical Q/A then you're in the right place

Noticed at the weekend that my front tyres are wearing 80% faster on the inside edge.

The car is lowered 40mm and the rear has always had this problem, on this and the e30 before.

It's not a massive camber but still it's eating the tires and I'd rather have it corrected than keep buying new tires.

I've just had one new wishbone on the drivers side due to knackered ball joints....should I have changed the pair? or is this a common thing?

There is no play or vibration or any phsyical feeling in the steering or suspension that would indicate a problem, just the fact the inner edge of the tire is starting to disapear. :D

You need to fit some eccentric front top shock mounts mate, that will solve your camber problem. Available from the dealer and C3 in London. IIRC they're about Ԛ£100 the pair.
