Hi all,

anyone know where to buy decent camber adjustable top mounts? Had my tracking done but being lowered on AP coils want to get it more within oem level.

Thanks

The two bolts that go through the bottom bit of the shock may have some movement in them to get the camber into the green. I never had to get anything like that for mine and my Tracking was fine mate

Thanks mate, the tracking place did the best they could to get it within OEM spec, but due to it being nearly on its arse I didnt think they could do it lol

Will those adjustable top mounts do alot?

Had this discussion before on another forum, on the 9n the only camber adjustment is slight and only available using the subframe, its a different way of connecting the strut to the hub vs the 6n2 with the 2 bolts. If anyone knows different please link a pic as no one seems able to thus far.

Mine pulls to the left as the camber is out more on the left side than right. I've searched the net but not found an easy solution. You could adjust the camber on the coilovers on my clio... much easier.

As I understand, it's nominally "not adjustable"... I'm under the impression that the entire subframe is on slotted holes, to allow movement to accommodate wonky bodies... Presumably altering that would only be able to give more positive on one side, and more negative on the other - not more negative on each side.

Check for wear in bottom ball joints and straightness of lower arms. (could be bent after hitting a curb in the snow or something) Either of these would/could throw the camber out.

Are adjustable top mounts available for the 9n?
