Trialing Arm Alignment Check/Service Options

[friethmiller]

I would like to check the alignment of my trailer arms before I recondition them for the LE. I know there's a Lamont guy in CA that had a jig for 914 trailing arms, which he used to reinforcement the arms. My main concern is the driver side that got hit in an accident long ago. Does anyone know of anyone that can do this check? Tangerine Racing no longer does it and Elephant and PMB provide a reinforcement service. Is there any way I can DIY?

You should bribe or blackmail the Falcon into giving you "blueprints" or measurements...

The KICKER here is "I use ours for reinforcement plate welding>> keeps the arms from deforming."

You need this, I need this.

I've got good straight arms as templates. They are currently off of the car!

You can weld quite nicely...

Might be handy to have adjustable camber angle worked into the jig so you modify base camber adjustment ala Tangerine Racing.

Edit:

Montreal's note about "CFR" not doing control arms any more worried me.

I was planning on having Tangerine Racing do any arm mods I needed.

The box style of re-enforcement that he did looked like "best engineered, strongest, and possibly lightest" in my book. His angular arm to bushing tube gussets looked kick ass as well.

His website no longer lists this service.

Sad Ninja...
