It never ends... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Corner balanced my car recently and acheived a "cross" reading of 50%. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) However, instead of my front A-arms being level, they now angle downward towards the center of the car. I have read that you do not want to go beyond "level" to maintain correct steering geometry. How does this adversely affect geometry? For that matter, what is"correct steering geometry"? Where do you check for levelness? The arms get thinner as they go out towards the wheel. Measuring under them with a level , I'm about a 1/4" too low. But measuring under the "seam" of the arm I'm level (By seam, I mean the flange on the side of the arms where the upper & lower halves of the arms are joined). Which does one go by? My steering rods are also tilting down a bit going towards the center. Here is the current ride height with Kumho V700s measured at the doughnuts: LF 3 5/8" RF 3 6/8" LR 4 2/8" RR 4 3/8" Anyone else running this low to the ground? What are some of your measurements? I'm sure I can achieve the same "cross" with the car slightly higher, although it will mean losing some of the current rake (not all). Suggestions? Observations? Have I just gone over the edge?

Another damn thing I've never done... might as well be on Voyager when I work on my car... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I'll look it up in my Haynes how to remove the torsion bar and save you for the more important head scratchin'stuff. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Your procedure makes sense - thanks for the JP BTDT tip. Now just have to figure where that job goes on the list...
