Hi Everyone

My V8 LC seems to have too much positive camber on the right hand front wheel. The left one seems ok/normal by comparison.

I have read a few of the wheel alignment threads on here about shimming to get the camber right but I'm not confident I'm able to tackle it myself.

Can anyone recommend a wheel alignment place in Melbourne capable of doing it for me? I live in the inner northern suburbs but would be happy take it anywhere to get it done right.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Nando

For anyone interested, I ended up getting the wheel alignment on the LC  done by Bridgetone (Donnellans) in Plenty Road Preston. They did a great job, Rocky there is an old school car guy who knows old car set ups.

Cheers

Thanks for sharing your positive experience with getting your wheel alignment sorted.

I also have a V8LJ and was curious if in your case Rocky shared the results / angles he on completion?

Sorry I didn't get the results and I dont recall exactly other than he said it had 17 degrees (I think it was degrees) of toe in.

RHS had too much positive camber and LHS had too much negative camber (not sure of the number).

The toe in being so far out surprised me, the cambers being wrong I could tell by eye hence why I brought it to get done.

Sorry if the detail isn't what youre after. I was just rapt he sorted for me, seems to drive heaps better.
