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 |

Bolts should be 10mm x 55mm x 1.5 thread. They bolt into the three threaded tubes welded into the front outer control bracket.
Is it possible the threads stripped and someone just put bolt(s) through the tubes with a nut on top? Here is the plate Chris is talking about.  |
