Highway Patrol

I just arrived at a client's place, got pulled over on the way here by a special "Highway Patrol" police car on the way here.

They pulled me over cause of the rediculous negative camber on the rear of my L series

I really must whip the wheels off and try loosening and re-tightening those bolts to try and fix this.

They threatened me with a yellow sticker if I didnt get it fixed but didn't say a word about my 3" Lift kit

Police, they are shocking. Nice work, do not complain, oh or tell Jonno :P

I think the camber is also a symptom of a stuffed bush on the suspension swing arm, so this may need replacement if the trick with the bolts doesn't work

Yeah I suspect you're right, there is some mad creaking noises comming from under there when I creep up kurbs in a certain way.
I'll be replacing every bush in the car pretty soon.

mmmmm... that was lucky dude!. that is a pretty wild rear camber on your tho. Will have to look at my own as it is also doing leaning tower of pisa impersonations.

Im having trouble working out how this method actually changes anything.

Also... it says to tighten the bolts... am i right to assume u must loosen before pullling and tightening?
