Hey guys

I was just wondering if anyone knows if the caster and camber is adjustable on the RCZ GT 156 petrol model.

I had 4 wheel alignment done recently after I changed the track roads and the drop links and the toe front and back were spot on. Iv had it tracked before and this was never the case. But the caster and camber still in the red. The mechanic said they're non adjustable.

Any Ideas ?

Only toe is adjustable on all cars, doesnt matter which make, for RCZ I didnt find any top shock plate, for adjusting camber and toe, looks like no one is making them, what are your caster and camber numbers

ill show you. the strange thing is before I got the wheel alignment done everything was fine. Actually the camber was in the green on all axles the toe wasn't.When they changed it, the car started pulling. Now after a few alignment attempts the camber is out. Iv attached the Alignment before and after the first attempt and the last.

This one is when I got the car after they aligned it the first time

Old post, new news re-camber adjustment; there are camber adjusting bolts however are not compatible with stock shocks. I bought powerflex camber bolts which fitted into bilstein b6 shocks.

Camber can be affected by worn suspension top mounts & lower bushes

looking at your printouts i would take it somewhere more competent as camber wont change unless bushes are screwed, thats no small change, it only needs a tracking gauge to be fitted incorrectly and voila you then start panicking about it being wrong

find the worn parts and/or take it to a better tracking place

But better cornering
A wide tyre can only be placed fairly perpendicular to the ground, more negative camber reduces the contact surface with less grip.

In addition, the contact area is displaced from the axis of the central pivot and this causes unwanted reactions in the steering wheel.

It can affect other adjustments such as wheel toe.

I have seen tyres ruined in just 800km due to poor adjustments.
