Quick bc coilover question
Hi Guys,
Had some BC's fitted a few weeks back from a reputable garage, but whilst looking under the bonnet today I noticed that the allen bolts which adjust the camber? were sitting in completley different positions on the opposing front struts..
The car had a full geo setup when fitted and to be honest I don't know much about coilover and geometry setup but if you look at the pictures below you will see what I mean.
I took the pictures on level ground with steering straight. Can someone shed some light on this or am I just being a noob dumbass?
Surely these should appear in similar positions on both side. Cheers

Something else on the car might be slightly bent or out of line, so the top mount positions you've got are just offsetting that.
You've got camber bolts too, so if they're not identically set at each side - the topmount camber may be compensating for that.
It's probably fine, but if you do go back for re-geo, mark the positions of everything with a marker/tipex so you can be sure that things haven't slipped later down the line.

Something isn't right.... Definitely get a proper 4 wheel laser alignment done. You need to get both top mounts equal before you start and try to level on the camber bolts first.
