Just wasted my afternoon trying to get this sorted... :roll:
Bit of background: bought our bus with PO having said to have dropped the rear by 2 splines. The camber was all good, ride height all level on standard spring plates. However, getting wheels on and off was a bitch. So I bought some adjustable spring plates and new bushes and set about fitting them. I popped them on 1 spline back towards standard, and all was fine, camber pretty much the same on each side, however, one springplate had the adjusting screw most of the way up, whereas the other mostly down, just to get it sitting level.
I've been fannying about with it this afternoon, thinking that I'd mis-counted splines when fitting them, so have set about adjusting them to what I thought was the same position. Now I've got the van level, both spring plates are sitting in the same position, and the adjusters also roughly level. However, I've now got massively uneven camber on each side.
I've tried adjusting one of the spring plates back a spline which evens out the camber, but then the spring plates are back to both sitting really unevenly.
Bit stumped with this to be honest, as it seemed to be ok from memory on the standard spring plates , but then maybe it wasn't and I never noticed. What else could affect the camber? :?:
