Hi Guys,
Once again I have a Mini enquirery, My Cooper S rear wheels are pointing inwards. Any ideas how to get these straight?? My Cooper S gets speed wobbles once I get over 120km-h I think it is because of this. I bought a set of rear adjustable camber brackets and they still point in.

Any ideas how to straighten the rear wheels??

Cheers Brett
