    Vorshalg Camber Adjustment Bolts Obstructed

    So this might be a dumb question but when adjusting the camber using Vorshlag (or any other) plates what do you do when the allen bolts are obstructed by the strut tower? They are marketed as "easy trackside camber adjustment" but I assume if those bolts are obstructed the only way to adjust it is by loosening the three strut tower bolts and likely messing up the caster at the same time?

    The allen screws are for caster adjustment. Those are set during an alignment and shouldn't need to be adjusted after. Camber adjustment is easy via the three lock nuts. When camber is adjusted, caster will not be affected much, but toe will change quite a bit.

      That makes more sense. So if you loosen the three nuts that hold the strut brace to the strut tower you won't disrupt caster at all? Only toe and camber?

        Not enough to notice. The three strut tower nuts will adjust camber and when changing camber, the toe will be affected. Adding negative camber tends to toe-out the wheels.

          Thank you for entertaining my dumb question!
