Trying to figure out if I can safely go 1" per side to make the front track the same as the rear....I currently have 1.25" thick spacers, so I could eliminate those which would be nice.
I figure not that big of a deal on the camber since that is easily fixed by opening up the top of the shock tower (salvage title car, so no worries about "ruining it" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) ) For those that have installed turbo-tie rods, do you think there is enough adjustment to move the ends out an inch per side???

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Yeah, it made my head hurt also. My highschool physics didn't cover this or I've forgoten in the past 40 years. On the track, normal steering angles are fairly small. At AX, sometimes all the angle you can get is just enuff and you dialing it in at entry by the handfull....once it starts to push, it's a bitch to make it stop. On slaloms & sweepers you don't use much...then I'm loose....thus the quandry. How do you get the car to behave in the same manner in all circumstances |
