damn , another 80 quid gone down the drain then.

Due to having severe back problems and pain, i havent been driving my car much. and when i do drive it the stiffness of the suspension making my back worse! and being in london there are speed bumps everywhere. so im getting the suspension changed back to my original ones (lucky ive kept them)

If you wanna do your camber yourself all you need to do is when you fit your struts the 2 bolts that bolt to your hub, just keep them loose and pull your disc brake out and tighten up, thats all they do on the alignment

It won't be exactly right though, that method would just temporarily tie you over. I'd definitely get it checked properly after also.
