when i took my front coilover off i had this problem where the wheel was on a slant bad. what i done is jacked up the car with the wheel off.undo the 2 bolts the were on the bottem of the strut slightly so u have movment, then pull the disk or get something to push the strut back at the top of the 2 bolts this will correct the camber to a certain extent.

you guys need to be shot....

if you mess about with anything to do with suspension you need to get your car laser tracked and cambered.
any good protyre or tyre fitter will be able to do this for around £60

if you have fitted coilovers your tracking will be all over the place.

depending on how low you are you want camber at about -1.0 either side.. some people go for -1.5

Mine was a short term solution till I have a professional (ray west) to do the 4 wheel laser alignment. as quickfit, merityre and all the other tyre places where monkeys work round my area can't do it even two at the front.

It sorted mine out so it wouldn't hit me in the face every time I looked at it and had no uneven tyre wear or any problems.

Needs a full computer 4 wheel alignment and ask for the before and after measurements, on the ibiza any work on the front suspension needs a check after, with the rear only if the beam is disturbed does the check need to be done. When I changed the shock's all around the camber after was -2.50 degree's on the front and had to be adjusted to 1.50 degree's.
