Agliment of the rear axle, would you be interested in a kit?

Post by Frits » 14 Mar 2010 05:29 pm

For many reasons I want to adjust the rear axle, toe and camber. I've already worked out how its gonna be, but if there are enough people how would like to buy a kit, I maybe let a lot of sets CNC be made. It would be a complete kit, wich fits stock axle, no modifications needed. Adjustment does'nt have any limits.

So its the way to agline the rear axle on a road or motorsport car.

Please let me know. Can't say any prices yet, but the more people they want, the cheaper it will be. When I have an indication of how many sets, I can give a indication of a price.

sounds like a good plan the only way i think oyu oculd do it is cut the axle in half and make a cnc bolt in spacers as such but with
different angles so it gives ur more/less camber and toe
but as allways comes down to how much

Agree'd, a way of getting rid of it on sagged axles would make the cars handle soooo much better

Ok so how is it done or it is a big secret?

To be honest I just want stock angles + a stronger axle, but cutting is the only way I can see.

When I got a sample made, I'll let you know guys. No cutting or welding. It's a decent solution.

Please keep posting when interested :]

Kinda hack-job way is to put proper size spacers/washers between the axle and the hub so that way you can adjust camber and also wheel alignment at the rear axle.

Maybe Frits' part is a proper adjustment bit for that section or something similiar. :P

as the hole hub is not in contact with the axle

+ the rear drive introduces a load of additional forces (that bends the axle in the first place).
