....Sorry. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
The ear is now 1/4 inch thick. I can't come up with anything obvious to brace the back side of the ear.....the angles are too great for anything to be of much good...tho I'm open to suggestions. Summore welding & grinding and we can move to the other side. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Look beautiful, but if the ear is 1/4" thick, and trailing arm has roller bearings, how is toe and camber adjusted?

Look beautiful, but if the ear is 1/4" thick, and trailing arm has roller bearings, how is toe and camber adjusted? Mark brings up a valid point. There is enough slop in bearing set-up (in and out) to allow for it. The is washer not parallel to the bushing face. The result is uneven wear on the inner washer.....which was apparent with the original ear. The alignment guy was cussing at it last season....I don't suppose I've made it any easier. I run -.5 camber & 0 toe. Were I going for -2 or thereabouts, we could have a problem. |
