Hey guys I'm in need of an alignment as my front wheels are getting worn out way too quick. Being a bit of a noob what's the appropriate settings ie camber?
I'm not running any upgraded suspension or steering just the old shocks atm.
Cheers

If It has standard Mini suspension You Can only adjust toe in toe out,
however check for bent arms and worn rubbers

Make sure all rubber bushes are not perished or worn and suspension not too low otherwise it will be a waste of time aligning the wheels.

the tie rod ends on the steering rack control toe adjustment. its really something that needs to be done by a pro if your not sure as mis alignment can cause serious tyre wear and handling issues.. take it to a tyre shop and they should be able to sort it out for you
