    Front camber adjustment ???

    How does one adjust the camber? I have KW coilovers and have noticable positive camber on the front right only. Car is to be registered soon.
    Is the adjustment done thru the top of the strut only or is there others ways to adjust it?
    I'm fearing a bent strut.

    TIA!!!

    It should all be fixed. However, you can get a bit from the ball joint mount. Remember to get the front aligned if you change the camber.

    Thanks Gavin.
    Will have a better look during the week.
    If the strut is straight, I'll try and adjust via the ball joint and will be sure to get aligned after that.

    Thanks again.

    moving to an R32 lower set up will give you a greater range of adjustment

    How so?

    You can get strut top mounts that allow camber/caster adjustment, but there's not a lot of scope with the stock stuff.
    Nothing to see here...
