Wide track fitting advice?


Rich.E

Recommended Posts

My wide track kit turned up this morning and I will be fitting it over Christmas. I would appreciate any advice before I start, I intend to go 2-2-2 on the washers, but was wondering about the setting of the top ball joint, I want to get -1.5 degrees camber and would like to get close. I have a camber gauge, but will get the wheel alignment done properly in the new year, and what difference does one turn of the ball joint make?

 

thanks

Just out of interest -- on later 'metric' cars, are the top joints and the steering arm joints still the original Imperial thread components? 

If so, I have noted down somewhere the amount by which you need to turn the steering joint to redress the existing toe-in or -out, per rotation of adjustment made to the top joint. 
(Obviously this is of no relevance to Rich just yet as he has to set the camber and toe to start with... but when it comes to fiddling and tuning it can be useful to know.)
