[TR] Front Camber Adjustment - TR3

[Andrew Uprichard]

There is no adjustment for camber.  Did you replace the ball joints?  Some
aftermarket ball joints have the hole for the pin in the wrong position:  if
you do not tighten the whole way, you will end up with camber.  Apart from
this, you either had a major accident without knowing or the car has always
been like this.  I cannot see the suspension tower moving without some
serious trauma - and the cross member would probably reflect that.

After a long layup, I finally got my TR3 on the road again and noticed that
the passenger side wheel has about 1/2" of positive camber - which is about
3/4" the wrong way.

I don't see any adjustment to make.  Any ideas what happened?

We did have the transmission out several times during the layup - is it
possible that the engine may have bent the suspension tower at some point if
was unsupported at the rear?

No rust to speak of (at all) so I don't think its anything like that, and
all of the suspension bushings are new.

I got no movement on the wheel with the front end jacked up.
