Hi. i dont know how to exactly set camber ( should be about 1.5 degrees in at the top), but if you use a peice of wood the same diamiter as your wheels and mesure 9.33mm in at the top and set it vertical against your wheel using a spirit level.
then place spirit level on new line and ajust wheel till spirit level reeds vertical in new line.
You will have to loosen the two bolts with car jacked up, ajust slightly , lock the nuts , refit wheel, lower car, move car back then forwards, then recheck, then reajust again if needed.
this is the only way i know, or take it to a garage and they would charge about £ 30 to check and ajust for you. you will also need the tracking checking too.
