So I notice my passenger rear wheel camber was way off. That side of the car was sagging a little bit. I figured something came loose. I jack up that side of my car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I attach the replacement with screws, then do a mock-assembly to check toe adjustment

QUOTE(sean_v8_914 @ Mar 24 2011, 06:53 AM)  I attach the replacement with screws, then do a mock-assembly to check toe adjustment I was planning on doing that to make sure everything is in the right spot. I sure as hell don't want to do this twice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . It's about time I get to it. I've let to many projects leap frog this one. Pretty pitiful as none of them are working yet. I could have fixed this a year ago & been driving this 914 again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . I guess better late than never.
