jammy Posted July 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Well I am raising the rear 20mm tomorrow which falls into the lowest option on the machine.. And hopefully should bring the camber and toe back to where is was.. Got a drive to Cambridge tomorrow which I was looking forward to but not so much now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 They should have used the machines lowest settings despite the actual height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted July 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Yeah they did mate.but as you said you thought there wouldn't be enough adjustment on the rear to reach the target due to its ride hight and there wasn't, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 True they do have a limited range....If you adjust the height so the lower arms are horizontal that would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted July 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I've managed to gain 15mm of hight on the rears reading 335 hub to arch but that's as far as the spring Perch goes.. Just as well I've raised it tbh as I am off to pick up an 8k sound system for beach parties and I'm told it's not that light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammy Posted July 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 The car was spared the trip until Friday now. The sellers got back from holiday at 11pm.. I wasn't going nowhere at that time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted July 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Just drove to work and it's horrible Went the same way as I did all last week and I couldn't corner half as hard as I had been. I can feel it sat arseend up.. Not liking it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Is it partly a damper issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted July 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 No the dampers are find.. I am thinking the bush In the bottom rear arm might be damaged after the guy snapped the bolt on Saturday as I am getting a knocking noise from the n/s/r... I've got to go and pick up the new bolts tomorrow and the owner will be there so I'll be having a chat.. There the snapped bolt issue and on Friday I noticed that the n/s track rod hadn't been tightened up after it was last aligned.. The owner is good at what he does but the monkeys that were there Saturday don't have any fxxx's to give.. No doubt they cooked the siezed and sheered bolt to get it out of the arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted July 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 The suspension is working well Imo.. I was on the front again to day working on the camber which has made. Difference.. I had to alter the toe as the change in camber mode the wheels toe out rather a lot.. Will be intetesting to see the first readings Friday as after my last play I got the Fronts to sit parallel by eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear Camber -2 degrees 7' Toe +10' each side Front Camber -1 degree 5' Castor: Not adjustable so high is good providing there's no more than 45' difference between them Toe +5' each side Found the numbers you gave me last time mate. Should I aim for this again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammy Posted November 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I'll find the print out mate. I'm going to wim tomorrow anyway as I want an honest opinion and an honest set up if it needs it I've set it now so it definitely wants a once over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
