Car was aligned and corner balanced .....At track discoverd 3 bolts attaching @ front of trailing arm were "tight" yet arm was shifting. So bolts are tight but arm sliding back and forth....Really "interesting" under heavy braking after high speed straight...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
I am sure someone can tell me what is up and how to fix.. Thanks Terry |

QUOTE Shims (washers) between the arm and it's mount until it won't move laterally any more. That would change his camber. Chris is on to something; There is supposed to be a plate under the bolt heads. It's rather thick. If it's missing the threaded portion of the fastener could be bottoming out prior to the assembly being tightened properly. |
