gsr rear wheel camber and toe seetings

[Mike Jupp]

Any body have any pics of their camber and toe adj bolts on rear suspension?
So i can set mine up temporarily the same.

Lol....you want pics of bolts to try and set yours up?
Wow!

Toe is slightly in? Point your rear tyres slightly in compared to the fronts. Line them up from back of the car past the rears and onto the fronts. Maybe at the outer tread lines or less
camber- use a spirit level off the rim face and set straight up and down or slightly in at top. That will get you to a alignment shop. 1° neg camber on a 16" wheel is about 7mm in at top from level

Set camber first as that will change your toe

Dont forget to paint the bolts too.

It's going to be hard to set up by eye, without equipment you're just guessing. If you have tyres you want to waste then go for it.

I aligned the front only of my RVR with string lines and straight edge, I measured half dozen times on flat ground rolling back and forward and got what I thought was a very decent initial alignment.

It felt great on the road and I drove it for about a week, it didn't pull to one side or squeal around corners at all. When I got it aligned it was 17mm out! So the point is no matter how good you think you have adjusted the suspension/toe/camber/etc. , front or rear, prepare to be miles out and eat tyres if you do it yourself.

yes pic of bolts you can see where a cam bolt is set buy looking at it.. cheers guys

 

[Mike Jupp]

[Mike Jupp]

Exactly my point

Exactly my point...pics wont help

after doing my awd swap i just drove it exactly as it was for 2 days until the tyre shops were open. if your suspension is all in and wheels are on just drive it to the tyre joint it might drive like a bag of wet dildos but it'll get you there.

this is how mine drove in

 

[BMGTZ]

like a bag of wet dildos...........lol!

 

[evo-gsr]

Were they painted dildos??

 

[Mike Jupp]

ill just drive the painted dildo to the shop, tyres are due soon anyway, already handles like sloppy jocks

 

[evo-gsr]

Best idea you have had in this thread ^

 

[BMGTZ]

Mike....I note that you mentioned you are going to change the rear sway bar. If that is your car in the picture....have you painted that sway bar? It looks aftermarket already in which case an E3 rear bay will be a backward step.

However if you feel you like pain...just swap the E3 bar in and give that one to me

I powdercoated my whiteline swaybar if that makes u feel any better. Plus there's a photo of my bolts, unpainted though and no alignment whatsoever, as it needs to go for a full wheel alignment.

 

[evo-gsr]

Are they coach bolts from Bunnings??
