G'day guys
Had a good go at settings and found some strange results.
Bolted uppers direct to chassis and had neutral camber one side and reasonable negative the other. Set everything else up and after a short burst down the court found both sides have negative camber. Clearly my springs have to settle heaps.
Steering is tough at park speeds so may have too much castor but will sort this later.
Also lowered body using spacers under the lower wishbones and figured out why I have so much room above tyres to mudguards - 50 series tyres. Hadn't even twigged to this one.
Only query I have is whether the steering tie rods should be bolted in from the top or bottom?
As I've said previously, the previous owners of this kit really had no knowledge, and I suspect that their attachment of the tie rods from the top is wrong. Is this suspicion correct?
Both the angle the rods make with the stub axle units and particularly the wheel movement when the car is raised and dropped tells me all isn't right.
Look forward to more info.
Cheers
