Camber adjustment
 
I opted to go for the book design of camber adjusters, I figured I wouldn't be tuning the geometry all the time. However when I got the wishbones assembled, it turned out that once the balljoint nut got tightened just a bit getting the balljoint out of the mushroom for adjustment in place is nearly impossible. It's easier to price the mushroom out of the upright, although that's not really easy either. So, how do you do it?

I find it easier Albert to take out the 2 bolts at the chassis for the front upper and rotate the wishbone around the mushroom. Don't really want to be taking the drag link in and out of the mushroom anyway, weakening the Nyloc. Going to do mine when i get done today as the car needs more camber on the front. And the suns out so going out for a bit for a test.....:D

Hope that helps....AndyH
