Hey guise
95 945T.
Background, it has lowering springs, Koni's, and slotted camber mount holes. I had it aligned a while ago at a shop that used a trammel bar for front align only; it pulls slightly to the right and is 'darty' or too quick to respond to steering input.
I just had the specs checked on a Hunter electronic machine.
I'm putting in poly diagonal arm bushings, so can modify caster at that time.
--- first, what is the best lube for those? I've seen Super Lube mentioned. I also saw on BITOG that it doesn't matter, but all the mfrs seem to say Not to use petroleum lubes.
So, Actual specs on the Hunter.
Camber, L -- neg .8 R neg 1.4 I will move the R to the same as L (can't match L to R as the slot isn't long enough) stock is pos .2 -.8 but I wanted to have some neg
Caster, L 5.9 R 5.1 (spec'd is 4.5 - 5.5)
I'm thinking of a spacer behind the bushing on the right, to move it out a bit to more closely match the L. Can't shorten the L. Is there any reason not to use a spacer behind the bushings that I don't know about? Will the assembly tighten down correctly with that added space?
Toe, this is where I need most advice I think. L .1 deg, R .11 deg toe OUT, not in. I was surprised at this. Hunter spec said it should be .05 -.19 deg IN.
How does that match to 1/32? The book I have says 1/32" IN. The Hunter had specs is deg, but the book has it as 1/32".
Any thoughts on toe as related to the toe setting after changing the camber (more neg) and caster (more pos) or go with close to the stock setting for the toe?
Thanks, and I hope everyone has been good.
Well not Too good....
