I have a1998 Cordoba Vario and I have found that it is eating the inter edge of the tyres on the front, I have check the tracking and that is fine, but I have been told that you can set the camber on these, does anybody know if this is true?
Car has not been lowered or any mods apart from 16" wheels fitted.
Many thanks for any help you can give.

Hi - If you're spending then you can get the bottom arms complete with bushes from GSF or Euro parts cheap enough to save the hassle. Then if you are having the camber checked and reset you may as well change the top mounts and bearings on the strut - again cheap enough. They definitely will be knackered. With tracking etc you should do the whole lot for a little over £130 ish.
I think it's about 30 per side for bottom arms, 8 per side for top mounts and 6 for bearings.
A steady 1/2 day once you get the hang of doing one side the other takes about 45 mins.
