Hit it with a hammer until your arm gets tired?

wedge a jack handle against the knuckle and the ground and have a friend tighten the bolts. LOCK WASHER.


JebusFC's car never ceases to amaze me.

Home made toe rods!

JTP mentioned earlier that he uses a combination of the individual camber adjusters (from like AWR racing) as well as a center camber adjuster. But be careful with a center one, using it to pull out too much camber will tweak your subframe to a point where it may compromise your driveshaft pinion angle.

how do you measure pinion angle and does it cause any other effects other than driveline lock up?

Adjustable camber link to pull out about 2 degrees, and cut + welded links to remove another 2degree's and even the wheels up.

You can feel when adjusting the single link when enough is enough. And if you have solid mounts you cant really adjust it at all.

Well I found out something kinda cool. I recently ordered a set of power by max coilovers.

Everyone knows you get the adjustable top for caster and camber.


but the bottoms are also slotted to give more camber as well.
(well the are sloted more then my ghey ksports were)

They both get changed at the same time because it brings the strut top rearward and inward.

Wow, great setup! And thanks for showing everyone the RIGHT way to perform a coil slot. Boy, how wrong i was to buy a 20 cent lock washer and spend 30 minutes worth of work with my dremel....... Oh, wait, i didn't do that....because if i did, i would find it DOESN'T work.

I'll try your slotting method that YOU posted in THIS post. Thanks again for the VOLUMES of kickass info that helps other people in setting their car up.

Interested to see how this feels, works out to be a 2deg increase in caster. Probaly unnecessary but keen to try it.
