So I finally got the tie rods fitted yesterday and the alignment done today.

Before this the toe was so far out that the car was a driving death trap.

Now the shit part. I told the guy there I wanted around 1.8 on the front.

They called me to say the rear bolts have siezed inside the bush as well so adjustment was difficult.

They've aligned the car back to fkin standard specs at the front though and the manager there was giving me nonsense about how going beyond spec would make the car undrivable and wear faster. So the whole point of this 3 week slog to get more camber at the front has resulted in nothing.

I'll have to find a place tomorrow that can get my front wheels cambered to what I want. Give me patience!

I don't suppose there's some way I can do the camber myself?
