>I have an intriguing question (well I find it intriguing anyway). After I
rebuilt the front suspension on my TR6 last year (I replaced the bushes,
ball joints, tie rod ends, trunnions, spring seats/insulators - which were
non-existant, shock absorbers, and the RH vertical link) and put everything
else back as I found it (there's not a lot left), the camber on the RH
wheel
went from negative to positive. Before you ask, yes, I replaced all the
fasteners, put the A-Arms on the correct way on both sides, and I put the
alignment shims back as they were too. The front LH wheel still has a
negative camber, but the front RH wheel has +1 degree camber. Can anyone
suggest a reason for this happening?

Frank,
Is it possible that the old inner bushes were quite deformed and someone
had had the front end aligned to compensate and when you replaced the
bushes with fresh ones it put it back to the correct geometry and the
alignment needs to be reset?
