Camber adjustable (turn buckle type)
The Baron - 4/1/07 at 05:13 PM

Has anyone ever converted a 'Book' set of front top wish bone’s to the fully adjustable type, so that they can be adjusted without taking the suspension apart?

If so, how.

Cheers in advance,

GTS top wishbones are adjustable for camber without dismantling anything...

Do you mean this type of thing.

I have used them on my top wishbones.

Not much more trouble than the standard design and they work a treat. See my build diary no 9 and 14.

The only disadvantage is they reduce the space for the spring although I had no serious problem with mine, just took a bit more care.

Doing it this way does mean re-adjusting the tracking too after each camber change.

Thats essentially the same design as the GTS 'bones

Is there a design that avoids this, using Cortina/Sierra uprights I mean?

I don't think there is - if you think about it, more negative camber would effectively give you more toe out. I'd never thought about that till now and I've been on the road 2 years!

same on any wishbone setup with steering, you must always reset toe once you have adjusted cambers.
