Suspension camber adjust
My suspensions camber is out on the drivers side but there seems to be no way to adjust it, is there? Also does anyone know why the front suspension was changed on the Corsa in 1997? Was there a known fault?

Re: Suspension camber adjust
If the suspension has been replaced then the upper mount may be mis alligned the pivot usualy sits in a certain position, because the leg is not vetrical the pivot sits at an agle with the bearing in and most of the time people neglect to check/mark its origional orientation, so the leg sits at the wrong angle throwing your camber out.
Its worth checking if there is a peg or a notch in the upper strut mount that aligns with the body mount, The camber is not adjustable on most small cars, so if its out either something is bent or not fitted properly.
accident damage can throw the upper body pivot mount out too, if the car has not been jigged properly.
