Front wheel +ve camber

[skymera]

My driver's side front wheel has a bit of positive camber and it's bugging me!

I've seen some pics about drilling the top hole on the strut, but I have no drill. Just a half rounded file

I imagine it's where I slotted the holes to make the Corsa C coilies fit.

Can I file the top strut holes to even up the camber to the other side? Which direction I would need to file, towards the car or towards the wheel?

far easier with a drill i fit the drill into the tophole, then turn it on at the same time as lifting a socket and extension on the shaftnut

I'll hunt for a drill, what size drill bit needed, 12mm?

aye, and 1mm of slot shifts the top of the wheel 5 or 10 mm

In that case i'm looking at 0.5-1mm to get them straight.

Probably wont have access to a drill so might just sit there filing away for a while.

Going to buy camber bolts eventually.

Here's my coilies, top hole looks largely "oval"

Can I just loosen top bolt, jiggle the hub and retighten?

I've had these almost an entire year and never even knew.

Well that answers my questions about slotting. Close thread, solved
