Hello,
1st post and looking for info on how to adjust the front wheel camber angle on my newly acquired TR6. The problem appears to be that I have positive camber on the right side and negetive camber on the left. Sight of a workshop manual would be great or can I download the info from the internet or maybe someone knows how the job is done. Looking around this car up on my ramp I can only say that the previous owner was certainly not a mechanic and any work he has done can only be described as awful, the bad news being that he has been just about everywhere BODGING. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dave.

Sorry but I don't know much/anything about the TR6.

Are there shims fitted at the inner end of the lower wishbone where it meets the chassis? Or at least there would be if it was a Vitesse or Spitfire!

Can I suggest you post this thread one section up in the TR2-6 bit?

Good luck with it

A search of the TR Register forum would turm up this result

There are lots of reasons why the camber angle can be wrong, some of them easily fixed but others affecting the integrity of the chassis.  Copy the link into a web browser and you should be able to gain access, you may have to join the forum first though.

you can just bring the car to a professional! They can put some nice work on the car coz every realignment is measured to the millimeter better have your car delivered to a pro.

Hello RT,

TRs were designed and built in inches, take your metric rubbish elsewhere.
