I know most people will say to just go to a shop, but that's not gonna happen.
I got T-boned at the track last weekend, and the right support arm is bent at the top where the camber adjustment bushing is.
So I removed the bushing and turned it around.. got most of the camber back, but the caster is gonna be off now.
Here's a couple of "before" pics.. you can see where the bushing is already coming out a little.
This is after I turned the bushing around. The pin is a little more forward now..
Does anyone know the torque specs for that nut? I cranked it down pretty hard, but it's tough to get the bushing pressed back in. I might have to put the bushing in the freezer before I try again..
I'm thinking about cutting the 2 tabs off, so I can rotate the bushing to get the caster back.. and then adjust the other wheel to match.
I'm learning as I go on this one, and would appreciate any advice....
but mostly I'd like to know the torque spec for that nut. Thanks!
