Default Aldusting camber

A quick question re suspension. Correct me if I am wrong but it my understanding that if you fit adjustable TCAs to increase your camber from say -1 degree to -2 degrees you would also at the same time reduce your castor? And likewise decreasing your camber would increase your castor. Is this correct? as the physics of the whole thing would dictate that decreasing camber pulling the lower wheels in would make the ARB push the wheels forward?



Thanks very much.

Tim.

Yep, changing Camber will affect the Castor. Toe will also be affected so you'll need to retrack after any changes.

-1 degree Camber is generally fine for the road.
