Hello,
I just got around to putting my TR6 on an alignment rack. It was a frame-off
restoration. I currently have 2 shims under each front wishbone attachment
and 3 shims behind each Goodparts adjustable trailing arm bracket. All
measurements are in degrees.
My camber is: LF: -0.9
RF: -1.0
LR: -1.1
RR: -1.2
My rear toe is: LR: 0.24
RR: -0.17
My ride heights in inches, measured at the center of the wheel arch, are:
LF: 26.5
RF: 26.5
LR: 27.5
RR: 28.0
Visually, the car is clearly leaning toward the drivers side in back even
when my fat body isnt behind the wheel. The springs are new Goodparts front
and rear, with spacers and packing pieces in front and spacers but no upper
packing in the rear.
My plan is to remove one shim from each front wishbone packing piece in the
front.
In the rear, I plan to rotate the left inner trailing arm adjustor
counter-clockwise three full turns. This should raise the fulcrum and add >
degrees of positive camber.
On the right rear, I want to lower the car as much as possible, so I plan to
turn both adjustors counter-clockwise (raising the pivots) an equal amount
until one adjustor is at its limit of travel. Then I will turn the outer
adjustor clockwise three full turns to lower the outer pivot and add >
degrees of positive camber.
After I tighten the adjustors, I will loosen the outer trailing arm bracket
mounts and remove one shim from the right and add one shim to the left.
(Positive rear toe is toe-in, Im told.)
My brain hurts from thinking about it! Do I have the adjustments right?
Thanks for your help, as always.
