All done, fronts with the caster/camber plates in,
rears with the shigspeed mounts in.
Suspension feels in(f---ing)credible. I can't wait to
cornerweight and get a real 4 wheel alignment.
The only uncontrolled suspension movement is now old rubber
bushing slop - ES kit's next in line to get installed.
So, post install there's a couple of questions..
At max positive camber setting, it seemed like the
farthest I could get was around 1.6-2 degrees negative.
I would have thought positive camber would be possible
- did I do something wrong?
Caster, it seemed I could only to about +1 degree, at best.
I managed to get toe to either 0 or about .001" toe out.
Provided I didn't do something ridiculously stupid,
I'll drive down to MA shortly and go get cornerweighted
There's a bracket that holds a hardline and some tubing
on the passenger side of my classic. I had to take it
off the rear of the strut tower to put the camber/caster plate on.
Is there a way for my to remount this? I've considered
cutting the bracket down to clear the caster/camber plate.
It's tiewrapped to my wiper motor at the moment.
Lastly, in a completely un-suspension related incident, my wipers
died - the motor is turning, but the connection to the blades is
loose somewhere behind the firewall - anyone know what usually
breaks there? Or the easy way to get into that area? I haven't checked
the FSM yet.
