Tracking at the axle (adjustable) | + 0°43' (± 0°09') |
Tracking at the wheel (adjustable) | + 0°21' (± 0°04') |
Thrust angle | 0° (± 0°30') |
Camber dissymmetry | 0° (± 30') |
Front Suspension
Camber: Left-hand wheel (not adjustable) | - 0°18' (+ 0°36' ; - 0°24') |
Camber: Right-hand wheel (not adjustable) | - 0°18' (+ 0°24' ; - 0°36') |
Castor (not adjustable) | + 4°36' (± 0°30') |
Pivot angle: Left-hand wheel (not adjustable) | + 12°54' (+ 0°24' ; - 0°36') |

New tryes and tracking attempted. Front sorted but rear boults seized up. Chap thinks if its un seized it can be sorted without new bits. not so bad. thanks Marc

Re: 2012 DS5 hybrid rear wheel camber
Check the rear (fixed) lower arms to see if they have been used to jack the car up. They are easy to put a slight bend into. cheers
