Brightonuk Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I have run my Hoosiers with no issues I recently had the car resprayed and they dismantled some of the rear components, now the tires are hard against the trailing arms.Any ideas as everything looks OK is there a left and right not that I see that making any difference.Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Richard Price Posted February 20, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted February 20, 2019 'not sure quite how significant this is with regard to the tyre to radius arm clearance, but the photos show the Watts link bellcrank is upside down!The rear arm should be lower than the upper arm!I'd swap them over and check clearance again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted February 21, 2019 Leadership Team Share Posted February 21, 2019 Yes you've assembled your wheels incorrectly. IIRC the split rim bolts (M7) should be tightened to around 18Nm, although if you have the originals they'll be Nylok nuts so it's a bit of a wild guess.Stu.
