Camber Bushings
Unlike the standard McPherson struts, the
Öhlins struts features camber bushings that
enable you to alter the wheel camber. Three
sets of bushings are included in each set of
shocks/struts.
The different bushings are marked with
grooves, see table.
NOTE!
The camber angles are approximate and
may vary from car to car depending on the
manufacturing tolerances of the suspension
parts and the pick-up points. Therefore
please check camber angle on each wheel
carefully and adjust if necessary.
