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 |

Many years ago someone had made a jig to quickly drop them in and check for bendage. I even remember a detailed diagram with all the measurements.
But of course now i can't find either here ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
