Title: rear upper (yes) control arms Post by: fiero308 on May 23, 2004, 12:03:50 pm a little update;
mocked things up to check camber gain thru my suspension travel and it looks OK for a first time around: I have NOT set it at exactly zero camber for ride height; I just eyeballed it and I know that I have a bit of shimming to do but wanted to see if I was close and I think I am. first pic is with the control arms set at ride height. (By the way, I will have a 'track' suspension setting that will be 1.5" lower but that is next time around) 2nd pic is of max compression; nice little bit of negative camber gain that should nicely compensate for body roll and tire distortion on corners...... ;D Bottom goes the same way but I am not as concerned about the camber change; it is the 'outside' corner that I am more concerned about of course. Just thought I would post an update.

THAT is the biggie - and the reason for doing it! And I should get better (less) camber change when set at the 'race' setting so that is another switch I have to make and check too. Slowly it is coming. But if this works I get to take the cut off wheel to the other side and presto! No more McPherson struts! |
