Thanks

Where are you taking your car ? Are they mechanics or farmers ???

They need to loosen the nut on the front part of this camber bolt and turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise.
Then you will get -1.5 deg camber.

PS1 : make sure they check the elliptical washer on the front. They cannot put it wrong but I guess you can always be surprised with things...

PS2 : this bolt could tow a tanker boat. if it's stuck just cut it out and put a new one along with a new spherical joint

Thanks, I am not a mechanic but the guys who took the measures shoud know what they do since it was Kohl Automobile (AC-Schnitzer) in Aachen (Germany).

As stated you need to have a full tank of fuel and load the boot up and front seats from memory.... I realised this when doing a full alignment on mine and had the same issue.

You are right: 68kg on the front seats and 14kg in the trunk+full fuel tank

Bringing the CSL over to the mainland this weekend/next week as the CSL is going in to be checked for any subframe cracks on Tuesday!

Hoping all is well as none were noticed last time it was looked at.
