Lock nuts on the front top ball joit

I need to get more camber on the front suspension to ensure that the self centring is OK, but I have no more adjustment.

I currently have the lock nut between the wishbone and the top ball joint.

Question;-

Would it be Ok for the SVA if I put the locknut inboard of the wishbone?

Cheers

B

The locknut is only there to jam the threads tight so in front or behind makes no difference in reality.

Mine TRE is locked by a bolt in from the other end of the tube.

If you have those clever infinately adjustable jobs then the same thing may not apply

If the locknut is to thick then get it milled down a little
