Negative camber rear wheels

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help.

I have a 2010 FL2 TD4_e and I've not owned it long. Yesterday, I noticed the rear wheels seem to sit at a bit of a negative camber in relation to the front wheels (which appear vertical). Is that normal? If it's not normal, does anyone know what could be wrong and can they be adjusted/fixed?

Thank you in advance for any help.

rossie,
There is normally slight "positive" camber on the rear wheels (They lean in towards the top). If you are unsure take the car for a computerised wheel alignment using a "Hunter" rig or similar.

Thank you for the quick reply dunkley. I think I will look for a local 4 wheel alignment centre.

Bytheway.....Isn't it a negative camber if the wheels angle towards the car at the top, or have I got it the wrong way round?

Thank anyway Smile

Thanks npinks.........

I'm not too familiar with what the readings mean, but am I right in saying that you rear wheels have a ~2deg negative camber?

Cheers.

Yes! You are right! Negative camber tilts "IN" at the top, Positive tilts "OUT" at the top! Embarassed 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Very Happy No probs..........anyway I found a few places in the North East that do the 4 wheel laser alignment, so I might have a trip to one of them soon.

Cheers.
