Camber adjustment
ie / \
i have took it to the garage and he told me that i need to get some rods that fix on and then they can be adjusted back out. Do i need to get some rods or can they just be adjusted on the standard ones?
Help would be really appreciated as my tyres are already wearing down

Camber is adjusted using the camber bolts.

If you haven't got caliper gauges like these you can buy cheap electronic ones and a length of metal (again the guide to making that is on here too but haven't got the time to find it now)

If your wheels anre like you describe / \ then that is the camber.
……if you're looking at the car head on! If you're looking at it from above, that would be tracking. If you adjust camber you need to re-check and adjust tracking anyway, so they're kinda both linked.

Yeah he's right on that, I presumed you meant looking at the car head-on
