Post subject:  Front wheel camber issue after 2" lift
A few weeks ago I installed a 2" suszisport lift kit in the GV. Whilst I am more than happy with the ride and performance of the new springs, there seems to be an unusual amount of camber evident on the front wheels now, looking from front on when the vehicle is parked on a flat surface, it is pretty noticeable the the fron wheels are sitting more prominently on the outsides of the tyres rather than flat. Have taken a piccie but I don't think it really shows it up that clearly...

So the question is, as these vehicle's only have toe adjustment available as far as I have been told, Has anyone else had experince with this? is there a fix? I realise there is a period of time when the new suspension will settle out slightly, but I really don't think it is going to settle that much.... :?

easy to fix, Trundle down to your local pedders or reputable suspension and wheel alignment shop and get some camber pins fitted, these are eccentric bolts that replace the top bolt of the 2 that attach the bottom of the strut to the hub and allows you to change the angle there that then adjusts the camber
I have 2" lift and still managed 1 degree negative camber (top of wheel pointing in) with the camber bolts so will fix yours back to factory no problem at all
the place that did the alignment should of told you this and suzisport should of advised that they would be needed

Thanks for the info, no unfortunately the place that carried out the alignment after the lift failed to tell me that.. (scary thing is they are an ofroad specialist! 8O ) The kit was ordered the a 4x4 shop via suzisport so the information may have been past on but did not filter through to me. 8)

yeah I just had the same problem fixed yesterday with some camber pins. They were something like about 1.5 degrees positive on both sides, pretty noticeable, and now one side is slightly negative and the other slightly positive. No joke, I had a nightmare that my tyres were excessively worn down because it's been a while since the lift has gone in, but it's all right.
