Word of Warning!

Post by young dubber »

Well what a weekend! on saturday i was washing my car like every saturday and i stood back and looked at it. It looked kinda slanted towards the back! Me being me i said "im not having that i want it level!" so the C spanner came out along with my jackand tools. I wound them down 10 times both sides! i thought mmmm this should do it! nope not a movement! so sod it went 8 threads from the bottom! Big Mistake! i spent saturday night rolling on my arch liners and every corner wearing away my inner wing! Not good! so sunday came back to the car and ive gone 14 threads from the bottom! scrubs a little on full lock and im now scrubbing a lil getting off speed bumps but im well chuffed it looks so much nicer unlike the slabs in the back look! so be careful when you slam your car there is too low! especially when its your daily runner! luckily my uprated bushes come this week! :lol:

Yeh every time you adjust them you have to wait a while or take it for a good spin to let them set. They'll never fully immediately.

so when you adjusted at the back, did this not affect camber caster?

It doesn't make a difference whether it does it not, you can't alter the camber at the rear.
