Если у тебя где-то "повело", то это будет обязательно (если всё не в жирном слое какого-нибудь антикора) видно! Т.е. смотри, должна пойти складка, от складки начинает отколупываться краска обыкновенно. Да и сам прикинь, там у нас всё связано воедино жестко сваркой(моторный отсек образует единый объем подкапотного пространства и навесным). И если уже рычаг "увело", то и капотные зазоры уйдут, а если он(капот) имеет параллельные крыльям и переднему "телевизору" зазоры, то не заморачивай себе голову и регулируй развал, как все делают при занижении, из форума GTV6:

Hi
Has anybody done the camber adjustment in a V6 or Alfa 75 as described in European Car Mag. Part 6 of article series on GTV6 Project? It was August 95 and can be found in this site. I know you know, but for the record: "this site/eurocar6.htm"
I am getting ready to do the front end in my Milano (75) which is already very low, but changing to sport Ricambi torsion bars, and a newer steering rack (this one leaks a little) from my late red Milano. So I want perfect camber, and without that mod or another it's impossible. Have gas Konis and Ricambi springs in the back.
Thanks

Hi,
You have to cut the spacers down a little. The spacers I'm referring to is the two conical-like protrusions near the lower A-arm. At least you can now adjust the camber and make it slightly more positive. Without this, I believe your car will have a negative camber that cannot be decreased.

Hi
I believe that these spacers are available in different sizes from Alfa for different model years. I think that in about 1990 they reduced the size of these spacers from 25mm to 22.5mm on the Alfa 75, and these may be available if you do not wish to start cutting parts up.
All the best

A word of warning to you Jorge. If you lower the car too much, you will hit speedbumps in the worst possible spot, on the exhaust pipes leading to the catalytic converter. This could lead to complications such as crushed pipes, or even worse, cracked manifolds because the shock is transferred right back up to the engine. I lowered my 75 about 2" from stock and installed 1-1/2" skid bars down the length of the front of the car. This took a bit of work, but now the skid bars hit the ground and not the exhaust when going over those nasty speed bumps.

I bought a pair of those "camber adjusters" from Alfa Haeven. They are made of aluminum, and offer no dampenning, so are more indicated for racing or autocross/time trials, but probably a bit too punishing for street only use. I decided not to use them.

thanks for the warning. Funny, my previous Milano had cracked right header (bought it already lowered) and the replacement present Milano, also lowered already, also has a right cracked header. I know the lowest part of the car is the exhaust. Every onve in a while I belly the pavement in a dip. Always gently, but, you are right, the headers are hot and as brittle as glass. I'm waiting for the right header replacement.
