Was looking at rotating my front top mount last night to do as the title says. Unfortunately the bolt positions are not symetrical, 2 pair are 10cm apart and 1 pair is 9.5cm.
I was thinking of drilling out the holes by 2 or 3mm to make it fit and position the adjustment plate at 45degs to the side of the car rather than 90degs. (This means as you move it back 45degs, you are changing camber and castor at the same time)
The reason for all this is I've got my camber set at -1.3degs front and there is still a little slack but I would like some more castor as I think it would help front end bite in slower corners.
The proper job is to buy some Ground control camber adjustment plates but these cost £200, lower the car a further 3/4" and only fit with certain strut braces so are far from easy.
The disadvantage of what I'm looking at is you will always have a compromise between getting an accurate camber and castor. I could buy another set of camber bolts though for the front instead that would solve that problem.
More importantly, I have to start drilling bigger holes through everything.
Anyone looked at this or tried this before?
