How to increase Striker's front camber?
Hi everyone,
How can I increase the front negative camber of my Striker with Sierra's hubs and inboard suspensions?
Have I to do something to the top balljoint?
Thanks

Surely you'd have to shorten the rocker arm or lengthen lower arm?

Adjustable lower arm would be by far the easier way.

Rose joint on the inboard ends of the lower wishbone would be the easiest way.
The downside of adjusting the lower arms rather than the uppers is any adjustment has a bigger effect on the toe-in.

They will....I bought a pair for my Phoenix last year from them. The Striker/Phoenix arms are not the same as the Fury strangely.

Remember
Whatever you do will have an effect on bump steer too.
It might get rid of it if you currently have it.
It might give you it if you don't have it just now.
Why do you need to change the camber ?

I've not excessive bump steer but I notice often an annoiyng understeer at high speed on the track....I also checked tyres temperature and it
appears I need more negative front camber.

I've only one end adjustable but I think the margin of regulation is minimal.

having thought about it overnight, I was talking bollocks.
If your inner wishbone pivots stay the same, which they will, and your rack stays the same, bump steer will not be affected.
I do love how your minimal camber adjustment with those bones also adjusts castor angle, whether you like it or not.
Surprisingly short sighted by whoever decided that.

You could probably get those wishbones modified to add a rose joint (rod end) to replaced the fixed bush.

Yes, I'll try this route.
I bought these lower wishbones this year from Raw, if only I had known...

Increasing the caster also gets the inner edge of the tyre to work more. bringing the temperature up.
