	quote: Originally posted by Steve you asked for the camber to adjusted, he said the camber cant be adjusted (which it cant), i dont really see where the garage went wrong [Edited on 19-05-2007 by Steve] he asked how much it would cost to adjust the tracking AND camber. Any other garage would say, X amount to adjust the tracking, however the camber cannot be adjusted

	it depends what suspension you have. Stanard suspension is not camber adjustable only coilovers are i thought. And the rear cannot be changed as it doesnt have indipendent suspension.

	You can adjust the toe, which means if the wheels point in or out at the front. But you can't adjust the camber, which is if the wheel tilts in or out at the top of the wheel.

	You can't adjust the camber though unless you have made it that way.
