Rear wheel camber. Update.

[Paul99]

I have always thought my real wheel positive camber was too positive.  I have measured it at one side its 3 degs the other 2.5 degs.  Believe it should be one deg or zero.

Noticed the top rubber pad which sits on the top of the sping seems to be a thick one.  There seems to be a selection of pads avaliable (from SLS)- 30mm, 27.5mm 24mm 18mm. By reducing the pad thickness I am hoping the camber will be better.

Can anyone guess what pad i should go to (from a 30mm) to bring the camber from 3 degs down to one or zero.?  I am guessing if I replace the two large pads with the 18mm it will bring it down quite a bit.  They only cost £30 or so for a pair so will try it.

How easy is it to replace them? is this in the manual somewhere please?

I would renew the springs first.

I would renew the springs first.

A sagged spring would create negative camber, not positive.

the flange on which the spring seats at the bottom has three positions. Make sure it is the lowest one before considering changing the rubber pads.

True, I confess to not reading the question properly.
However, I would still install new springs before making any adjustments.
I've said it many times on here and I'll say it again. Nearly all pagodas I see for the first time have sagged springs and to attempt to make any adjustments to the suspension with sagged springs is, in my humble opinion, a mistake.

Obviously one could remove the spring and test it with a spring rate tester but if you have one of those then you probably don't need my advice!
