The 6 was going along way too nice to not run into a problem! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
For those who saw my 6 when Renshift bought my 4 and commented on the shims in the left rear! (Andy) Now we know why! So, does anyone in the Bay Area have a spare Left Rear Trailing Arm for sale? There is no hurry but I would like to do it this year if possible! And I am looking for something cheep! Jeff |

If the car aligns, the arm isn't bent. When I bought my car it had 3 shims and a 3/4" stack of washers on the left side. After replacing the springs and removing the very unsafe washers, the LR could not be aligned for toe. You could get camber with the 3/4" washer stack. Bought a used arm for $20 and the car aligned.
If you can't get there with the stock bolts and 3-4 shims suspect the arm. |
