cygnusx1 Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 I dont like to leave threads hanging so I come back to update. I did install the camber bushings up front but left the bumpsteer spacers. Result is about 1.3 degree negative up front. I have also loosened the front swaybar endlinks to allow the rear bar to work more and I really like the way the car is behaving now. Switching to the 240 bumpers really helped as well. I will add the rear camber bushings soon too. I found a neat way to measure caster that I want to try. With the car perfectly level on the ground: "Steer the wheel 20 degrees in both directions, subtract the two camber readings and mulitiply by 1.5".

JMortensen Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 The tough part there is the 20 degrees. Unless you have slip plates with angle pointers it's hard to get exact. I tried that method using a protractor to make the angle on the garage floor and showed 7 degrees caster. When I put the car on an alignment rack I had 5.5 degrees.
