Took Turbo R 55371 in for a wheel alignment check. Was told that camber is out of tolerance and that there is no way to adjust it. I find that hard to believe. A high end car without a camber adjustment!? Can that be true? all info appreciated. | ||||||||

Normally this is caused by sagging rubber bushes somewhere. Look to see if the bolts through any bushes are central. | ||||||||

Bill, You need to find another shop and take the attached documentation along with you. You'll also need the required parts if, as Bob has already suggested, the pivot bolt "surround" or compliance mounts have gone wonky.

My pessimist is showing here, but you have to read between the lines with human nature. Generally, "it doesn't exist" means "we don't stock that item" and "it can't be done" means "i don't know how to do it." | ||||||||

Thanks to all for very helpful inputs. You guys are awesome. Special thanks to Brian Vogel for the documentation, with which I am confident a competent shop can make the necessary adjustments.I'll post the outcome later. | ||||||||

Christian, Agreed, and that's why my first suggestion to Bill was to "find another shop" (with the implicit proviso that it would be, as he states, "competent"). If I have a really local tire shop, Central Tire in Verona, VA, that is able to do excellent suspension/alignment work on cars from Crewe (though I have had to source some parts) there has to be the same thing near almost anyone. It seems that shops that still work on a wide array of older vehicles are better suited to working on any of ours that are earlier than the Silver Seraph or Arnage. If it turns out that the bit that looks like a long metal spacer with the rubber bushing inside and another metal tube at the center that the pivot bolt inserts through is some commonly available part, would someone please post that part name, manufacturer, and number?
