its an utter shit method of setting cameber (the oval top hle that is) so the only way to do it properly is get the camber and tracking set up at the same time on a computerised system, not your average spirit level and sight gauge setup.

Mine costs about £45 to have done. 4 wheels, track and camber.

I can do it at home pretty much now for the camber, but tracking usually ends up getting done

how do they set your camber mate do they take your wheels off and bolt something to the hubs? because to alter the camber they will haveto slacken the bolts on the legs/hubs.
