Adjustable caster plate and camber adjusters on top so they're inverted and the damper and adjuster is on the bottom as opposed to under the bonnet on the top mount.

A problem because it's exposed to dirt and grime etc from the road. Mine have seized up apart from one side which i can wiggle a little bit. I left a lump of copper grease sitting on the adjuster all day yesterday. Washed it all out last night and still wouldn't budge so I used a penetrant spray and left that sitting over night and still the wont budge!

This is the adjuster. As you can see it sits into the centre of a bolt. I'm fairly sure if I go near that I'll be disassembling the coilover and the gas will leak out and we don't want that!

The aul tap with a hammer while turning with a grips option is out because these things can snap from being over turned just by hand and then they valve is £18 off Buddyclub UK.

So, what the fudge am I going to do? I could snap it and buy a new valve but they wont get hear before the trackday on Friday.
