Hey all,
I've got some issues aligning my flared 914. With the drivers rear at the limit of travel I'm still quite a bit toe out. Measurements of the hub-pivot distance are a bit longer on the drivers vs. the passenger rear. the bend isn't visually noticeable, but its there. Has anyone had luck trueing it up or should I just find another trailing arm and move on? Thanks! -Ross |

Thanks! -Ross I would think it would be easier, cheaper and faster to just get another used control arm if it is in fact bent. I would also check the inner control arm mount to make sure it is in the right location and is not cracked. Jeff B |
