adjusting camber with stock suspension?

[Starlet-supra]

quick question. About a year ago i tapped a curb with my driver side front wheel, which caused that wheel to gain some positive camber about 1 degree of positive camber on that wheel. Is it possible with the stock arms and KYB shocks to adjust the camber so that i can bring it down to 0 degrees or at least 0.5 degrees?? It is wearing that wire on the outside badly. I checked and double checked everything underneath and nothing appears to be bent or out of shape, so i am curious if anything could be done to adjust the camber with stock suspension?

A tyre place obtained camber bolts from the wreckers that reduced the camber on my stock front suspension not sure of the details but this reduced wear on my tyre edges so some adjustment is possible.

You could try using a camber bolt to see if it helps. The bolt should allow you to correct the 1 degree.

thanks for the replies. i will order a camber bolt from the toyota paseo suspension and i will go from there. I really only need to set it back to 0 degrees

Loosen the 2 bolts on the hub/shock connection point and see if you can tip the top of the wheel in.

wow that makes it even easier. I will go do that right now. So basically at the bottom of the strut where it has the two bolts going through i can just loose those two give it a couple taps with a rubber mallet then tighten them back up.

You might not even need a hammer, just push the top of the hub. If you tip it all the way in it may be to much camber but see if it moves first.
