reset positive camber D2?

[longwoody]

Hi all.

This is my first post. I have been using this forum for some time to research prior to purchasing a2004 d2 discovery classic and have to say I am impressed with the intelligent standard and behavior shown on this site.

Yesterday I had a wheel allignment and balance done at a specialist wheel alignment workshop in the city (Light wheel alignment Adelaide I trust these guys and have been a customer for c20 years.) and was told it has 3/4 + camber on LHF and 1 degree + on RHF. Apparantly there is no adjustment for camber provided by factory. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket camber kit available here or UK ? Perhaps one of the experts on this forum might have an idea as to what may be causing positive camber.

The Disco is Immaculate and has been loved by original owner apart from a smashed LH front fog light glass lens (light still works) and has never been off road. So far I am really happy with it (1st Land Rover!) and want to get it set up nice as I expect (hope!) to travel with it and see new parts of this country with my family. :)
I also intend to fit front bar, snorkel, new shockies, UHF, Set of spare 16s with more aggressive tyres and EGR blank soon. Later maybe TRS remap when extended warranty expires 2010. Any advice pitfalls re this model etc would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this is a bit waffly.

Unladen spec is +20' ± 30'

The O/S is just outside spec but I have no idea how to get it back in spec without a fair bit of work.


BTW, the D2 has toe out, not toe in as yours seems to now have.

Agreed; 1/4" or 6mm total toe is far too much, especially with such high camber. The camber isn't a great enough issue in itself to warrant the costs you would face to rectify it, but have them toe-in trimmed to around 0 or 1 to 2 toe out total.

Thanks for the replies.
just checked the alignment report and the 1/8 in toe I put down in original post was before they adjusted it. I should have said both are now set to 0' toe. Thanks.

There should be toe out, not 0. I don't have the spec handy but I can get them tomorrow if someone doesn't know before then.

Thanks, you should be OK then (just ;)).
