Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily

Ive got some standard top mount bearings if they are of any use to you dude. Those breaks will sure stop you with ease when they're fitted!

Great find Adam. Looks good. Planning on going back to earlier headlights? Glad to see you're putting the 850 to good use!

Re: one wheel further back than otherside? (pics)

the radius arm should be dead straight. if not replace it. it can drastically effect your geometry. no point in hitting the mounting unless its already bent. replace the bit that can be replaced rather than bend your chassis and bodge it! you might be able to bend the radius arm back if you heat it ...

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily

i think what people meant when they said machined, was that they specified s13 thread instead of 340 thread when getting new inserts. i could be wrong though.

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily

fair enough! let me know how it feels.

the s13 mounts share no mounting points at all with the 340. you need to drill the new s13 pcd in the turret, and cut a hole out to allow camber adjustment.

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily

Im running 250 and its fine for road use. Soaks up most bumps. You feel pot holes etc more but improved handling. Im planning on going stiffer, about 500 lbs as i want the front stiffer still.

Re: one wheel further back than otherside? (pics)

have you had to re-drill the turrets to fit s13 top mounts? How is the radius arm/chassis mounting? Strut top bent? Wishbone bent back? Check all of those I guess. It looks as though something isn't mounted correctly/bent, as when comparing pics the very top bolt holding the wing on to the arch on t...
