front wheel angle...

[wondo]

after assembly my front wheels seem a little bit bend outward...
is this ok? i don`t really see a way of adjusting it....

Absolutely normal until you get the body on and engine in and ride height correct.

Hi,
Mine are the same at the moment. I am assuming that when the body goes on the chassis will sit down on the suspension and the front wheels will straighten up. The front and rear suspension should be loose at the moment, final tightening to be done when the car is at ride height. As far as I know there is no way to adjust the camber on the standard set-up, just putting my self up for possible correction
I would think the rear of your chassis is sitting up as well without the body on, making the rear wheels slope outwards as well.

Chris.

the rear is straight

correct me if i`m wrong, but i thought that the front suspension suspends in a straight line and not arched, thats why you have upper and lower whishbones and not just a single one.

but let`s see what happens when the body and engine go on again, besides the fact that we have been jumping around with 4 guys on the front suspension and there was not really something suspending, neither was there in the back...

You have unequal length, non-parallel wishbones. If they were parallel, equal length wishbones, the camber would remain constant in bump, but would be poorly controlled in roll. As it is, the upper and lower wishbones move through completely different arcs, hence they make the wheel tilt as it rises and falls.

As others have said, don't worry about the camber angles until you have the big lumps of metal that make the power and change the gears in place, and the bodyshell fitted.

Also, the rear suspension is strut based, so there will be little camber change when fully weighted.
