Then you've either got too much camber or not enough wedge. If you have a lot of camber , say 3 degrees , then you will get understeer unless you enter a LOT faster than previously to get the benefit of the grip to be found when the car lifts , making the tyre level with the tarmac again.

Did sorting the toe and camber reduce the odd feeling at speed?

What i've guessed at has resulted in an amazing transformation, it stays in a straight line under very heavy braking instead of the rear end trying to swap with the front and under throttle it doesn't weave across the road like i have rugby balls for wheels, Wednesday we will go out again if you want and have another vehicle swap.

Rob, i have adjusted the camber as advised by Tim but only roughly i will buy a gauge soon as i want to sort that before Llandow as i don't want to waste too much track time, also i need to set toe which has improved BUT doing it by eye doesn't cut the mustard :wink: as for wedge i'm running 22mm
