We have checked front springs on above car to ascertain why buffer clearance had altered, and find that springs had taken .250 set. Particulars are as follows: Initial Camber. Before Test 2.750 After Test 2.500 Negative Camber. Before Test .500 After Test .700-.750 Buffer Clearance Before Test 1.300 After Test 1.000 approx.
