TT lower arms and geometry changes

<< < (4/19) > >>

Carrera2RS:
By my reckoning the track with TT arms will be some 9mm per degree of additional negative camber per side. This is because the hub centre will move out by circa this much using this method for adjusting camber. (top mounts different story)

I doubt if the splines would be insufficient to deal with this movement ?

If the MkV has 1 degree of neg via the bottom arms then this will alway be the case irrelivant to the hub and arm used. Since the shaft will need to be extended by 9mm to reach if the centre bolting is the same on an S3 and not sat further out than the VW. I see no reson why this might be the case.

Hi guys, have fitted TT wishbones and eibach arb's today, already have WALK.

Car feels awful - will book laser alignment tomorrow.

What settings do I need to advise them I want? Was going to run -2 degrees negative camber on front as per BDM Alex's thoughts on the matter but do I need to advise them of other settings or will they just sort it out as they see fit?

Thanks

rex:
Did you mean TT wishbones??
If you mounted TT arms and did not do any Toe adjustment no wounder the car is awful. If this is the case I truly know what you are experiencing. Fix the wheel alignment and things will get much better. Toe out should be around 6 degrees now which is way off scale... Fix the toe to be 5 minutes Toe in and the car will fell much much better.

the bruce:
Right, under regular circumstances go for 5' toe in per wheel on both front and rear.

berg:
sorry yes, did not proof read any posts - my spelling is atrocious today!

Sorry, but how come you measure "toe" in minutes? It seems odd to measure cars geometry with a unit of time (am sure has different meaning here though!)

Thanks will advise wheels in motion of your comments and hope they can sort it out
