Re: [T3] Vehicle height


<x-flowed>Sorry- symantics I guess- I meant diagonal arms, which do swing ;-)
Actually, the camber does change with IRS- if I jack up the car the wheels take on positive camber. Its probably not as much as with swing axle cars though. But it does go positive, hence my question. If I jack it up and then let it down, the wheels maintain positive camber until I drive it, so I don't think it takes much height diference to change the camber. Does anyone know the height the torsion bar tube should be from the deck on an unmolested IRS car?


Thanks again,

Mark

If it's IRS you don't have swing arms. I'm no expert on IRS camber problems, but I'm sure it can't have anything to do with your torsion bars or vehicle height -- that's the *point* of the IRS system, the wheels stay vertical with suspension travel. To have visibly negative camber with IRS I'd think you'd have to have something seriously bent or assembled very wrong. I'd have a good look at Shad's suggestion.
