Okay suspension gurus,
What's the deal with the front camber? How much adjustment is there supposed to be? People aim for -1.5 degrees so I was kinda assuming that the range would be about that much. But of course when I borrowed a bubble gauge, I'm not able to change things by more than 0.75. When I do the rough math, with the strut somewhere around 25" long, the adjustment slot about 0.77", and the bolt diameter of 0.39", that leaves arcsin((0.77-0.39)/25)=0.87 degrees. What am I missing? Want to get real camber in front, but stay in stock class. Thanks, Mark S.(IMG:http://members.rennlist.com/marks/build.gif) '70 914-6 |

You have to cut the tub. If you dont buy the upper monoball strut holder... you have to trim your OE rubber strut holder. There is not enough room in the tub for the strut holder to "move over" towards the tank without cutting it down on the side that hits.
Finding extra strut holders is easy (around my place) because we replace them frequently. I can show you where to cut yours. The tub: normally requires using a small die grinder and opening up the holes for the 3 bolts (so they can now move over farther) B |
