Tramlining & Excessive Torque Steer.

[insanekiwi]

Sorry for the delay Eddy,

The installation was done by mechanic and slight machining was required to get fit. They need tight fit! He said it was a well made kit, and something he has never seen before... anyway, I haven't had a chance to do wheel alignment yet, but will be going in soon. Once done right, i don't see why we will need to touch the camber adjustment (through cradle shifting) ever again.

Does feel solid driving around, but I have all the bushings done. So I would say this is for more 'precise and accurate cradle camber adjustment' so that you do it once right and never have to touch again. Not many wheel alignment places would be keen to touch your cradle,and will do their best to play with angles and other adjustment to get the car going straight. I know from the fact that my camber is set so it's going slightly towards left, and this had to be adjusted before.

Time to go back, for the last time.

folks, i'm looking at the first picture and can't for the love of VW fathom where that part is supposed to be. does anyone have a zoomed-out picture (or an ETKA one) that shows the general location of the bolt + screw ?

Hoyhoy.
Just took a couple of quick shots, hope this helps Ya. Its a shame I don't take more pics when I have things in pieces.
First pic. shows one of them (circle) right next to rear bush of the control arm (X).
Second pic. shows the other one right next to the front sway bar where it first starts to curl upwards & near the drive shaft inner CV joint.
Then the same on the other side of the vehicle.

Hoyhoy.

Any feed back, boys.
Me is stuck with some & it did cost me.

Hi Eddy

Do you have any of the sleeves left?

Hoyhoy.

For the more serious boys, heres another little trick I came up with.
I found the rear control arm bushes have to be located spot on to help reduce movement, so I went one further & bolted the rear bush (custom made 95 enduro),compliments from FULCRUM in Brissy, may sound strange but thats me, fussy.

What would be the issue if a metal washer was used to space the control arm to the bush?
Or am I missing the point, here?

Hoyhoy.

Greg there is one complete set with cam sleeves, bolts & spanner available.

As to your other question of using a metal washer, thats I what do but with a softer washer as well so as to insulate from going straight to the body, I done this to try & stop any movement of the inner part of the main bush from going forward & backward.
I think may be the part your missing is in the first picture, that bolt & nut on the end I had added by an engineer.

The bolt makes perfect sense to me - I'm actually surprised that it is only really located fore-aft by the front bush.

My question was actually about the function of the polyureathane washer. The bolt is already directly connected to the control arm and the 1st washer only contacts the control arm bush, not the carrier, which the control arm does directly anyway so I can't see why you need to provide any insulation from shock.

Need to talk to my mechanic about the sleeve kit but it looks good!

Spoke to the Guys at Pedders (pedders you say), tho it was a while ago. The guys at South Melbourne are great and really into performance cars, workshop is always full of great machines.

Anyway I was telling him about them, and I was told how they use the slack in the subframe to make small adjustments if they need to when doing a allignment, and without small adjustments well makes the car harder to setup?

Is this correct

I would agree, but with the sleeves eddy had made up, the center is offset to accommodate the ability to move sub-frame / chassis, i assume, allowing the alignment guys to move them if necessary.

Anyone feel free to correct me if i am wrong.
