Rich Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 i bet essex racer will be sraight on the blower to eibach for these little babys Depends how much they are though! Any idea of a price Tony? Too be honest I haven't suffered with any tyre wear on the car since I've had it which is surprising with the problems I've had suspension wise. I'm hoping to be getting the Eibach springs tomorrow so that will lower the car 30mm, might start seeing some slight wear then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted March 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 For 2 bolts? No mate.. This is for a adjustable top strut pillow mount. If the Mondeo had two lower strut mounts then life would be very happy.. unfortunately the strut is housed in the hub by one rigid cast and a locking bolt.

Rich Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I think I've seen a pic of these somewhere, but that's abit steep! Still I'm only going 30mm so hopefully I'll be ok... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Do you think I would need some of these on a 30mm drop? I'm assuming they're aimed at mondeos that have been lowered 40mm plus as the camber will be worse? The springs I'm getting are the ones Ford uses if you choose the sports suspension package and they're compatible with standard shocks. I was reading an old post of yours on MEG regarding wishbone wear and lowering the car. As I'm lowering mine 30mm do you think I wouldn't have to change them as often? I was under the impression that the lower a car is the more pressure you're putting on them so they wear quicker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attitude of the bushings will be more aggressive adding wear but the camber gain will be less, so it's a matter of opinion really.

Rich Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Tony, I've been reading about these camber adjusters and found this link to installing them - Click Me I know it's for a contour but they use the same kit as the mondeo? Anway, this bit that I've quoted below has got me thinking. 9. To adjust strut for camber and caster change remove the top nut and cover. Rotate the cam plate by installing a 3/8" ratchet and extension in the square hole. All of the weight must be off of the wheel and the suspension must be hanging before rotating cam plate. If the weight needs to be off the wheels when you adjust the plate how can you get accurate readings when doing the geo? As you would have to remove the top cover/nut, make the adjustments, replace cover/nut and then lower the car back down. It gives the impression it would take a while to find the correct setting if you're lowering/rasing the car all the time to make the adjustments. I'm assuming the top cover/nut would need to be in place when measuring the car otherwise there will be movement in the strut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 About 30% of cars with adjustable camber have to be adjusted with the wheels off the ground. The machines have a program where we tell it we are going to raise the car, the program measures the change in the camber during the lift then when prompted removes the gains from the live data.

Tony Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 That's cool then, not so hard to do by the sound of it No the machine does the math... In fact for MEG i have dropped the calibration fee (tonight) since the cars don't deserve the same fee as the Jap multiple adjust series.

Tony Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Excellent, that will please Jammy with the problems he's been having! So what is the fee now? For MEG members the fee is £85+ vat For MEG Gold members the fee is £85 including vat. Remember other forums have different paid fees to wim so the discount value does not disrupt our Gold fees by comparison for Mondeo members....... I think Anyhoo jammy gets a very special price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
