alignment after replacing front spring seats - camber 850

posted by  someone claiming to be ksg on  Thu Apr 28 07:32 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hello -

I want to replace upper front spring seats (and strut mounts if needed). If I remove the strut(s) from the car, the alignment (particularly camber) may be lost and have to be redone. 2 questions come up -

1) Is the camber adjustable on the 850 front suspension?

2) If so where is the adjustment - is it at the upper strut mounts (e.g. by slots or rotation or a cam) or at the 2 bolts that hold the strut to the hub and steering knuckle (which would have oversized holes)?

I do notice there are some aftermarket camber kits for the 850 but I want to maintain the original settings.

Many thanks...
