Hi all ,
i have changed all my 1850 front bushes by polyurethane from superflex , known as one of the best choice for quality .
After 200 kms camber went wrong . i 've added some plate washer behind brackets (two on each side) to get my wheels vertical .

After one rregularity rally ( 500 km including 100 km spécial stages) camber is ruined and tyres look "tired" .

Any idea ?

Did you check the toe in? adding shims may have upset that. Indeed, just fitting new bushes could cause that to change.
