[QUOTE="pollyp, post: 726261, member: 4527"] either adjust castor via the top mounts or via the lower ball joint, both are not easy or affordable or quick. moving the ball joint will require re-engineering the lower arm. moving the top mount, not possible at the moment with the BC alloy camber plate since it's only grooved for static camber adjustment and there's not much room for adjusting it longitudinally for castor. but trying to fix all this turning camber via castor etc is a secondary and more expensive tweak. think our primary fix should be to resolve the major body roll in the first place. first port of call are those lower arms which logic says is actually aiding in forcing the front end to roll over more when the loaded arm is pointing upwards. if I can lower the hub ball joint, raising the roll centre closer to the front CoG, it may help reduce the roll. then refine the spring & damper rates & swaybar rates. I sense the force is strong with suspension man H701 he is :cool::D then we'll look at refining camber & caster during further tests. gee the never ending joyous road of automotive R&D eh [/QUOTE]
