hi fellas
its properly been covered on here but I cant find anything on it
on my EK ute project I have a HR front end hr drum stubs commodore discs with V6 conversation adapters for the calipers
all is working good but I have positive camber on both the wheels I've taken all the shims out made no difference
positive camber problem
Re: positive camber problem
If you have positive camber top of wheel leaning outwards then you need to add shims.
If you have negative camber top of wheel leaning inwards you need to take shims out.
If you have negative camber top of wheels leaning inwards with no shims then something is wrong or bent.

Re: positive camber problem
No, Greg's identified the problem. I was thinking you might have Torana steering knuckles, but you've said you have HR.
You need to add shims. From memory about 6-8 mm worth will get you zero camber. First put equal thicknesses of shims in at the front and rear stack until you have zero camber, then take shims away from the front stack to increase the caster angle once the camber has been set to zero.
(I've found that setting the camber to zero, and then setting the caster to eliminate bump-steer, produces acceptable results.)

Re: positive camber problem
Hi where your HR drum brake stub axles machined correctly to take the adapters??

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.
