hi just wonderind my 1988 126 bis any body knows why the camber angle on my rear wheels is leaning out a lot to the top (not sure if that is + or - camber)

is it dangerous?
can i ajust it ?

ive looked at many other 126 bis pictures and cant see any others the same

If you have standard suspension it will always be like that. The camber in the for rear wheels should be between 0Ã‚Â°22.. 1Ã‚Â°22 (this is 650 on BIS it should be similar). You can adjust it... only by lowering the suspension.

If you have just fitted new springs they just lift the back of the car up and made camber bigger.

In this car more camber/higher suspension - the more likely you will roll.

the rear suspension shows different camber if you stopped after reversing or going forward,its down to the toe in,reverse the car and more neg will show(lean in at the top),go forward and more pos will be evident,opposite for the front end......... :cool:
