Re: Lanchester 15/18 camber angle
Hi Ranald,
When I measured my car, they were 1.2 degrees positive at the front, 0 degrees at the rear. However, the only thing that is at all adjustable is the front castor angle, so unless the axles are bent or the king pins very heavily worn, there's nothing to go wrong with the camber.
The front castor is set with the brass wedge-shaped shim between the axle and spring, and the desired amount of castor is stamped into the brass shim; mine are marked 1.5 degrees. The thick end of the wedge must go at the back!
BR,
Alan
