I learned yesterday that torsion bars raised up shouldnt change camber so i getting my tracking checked. will report back findings

#327 by woody13 , Mon Sep 08, 2014 11:41 pm

Both my trucks had the torsion bars wound up with no problems with the camber at all.

I think you is right no affect on camber when raising the T bars,

I have a neg on both fronts of 3/4 deg

Its effected mine but it was not much and I didn't have to do anything about it.

We are going to do an experiment on little trouble legs 11 truck when we tweak the bars a before camber and an after camber will post up the results for all

i bought a new set of running shoes last month and they check your camber on the tread mill.
call it pronate. not sure if its a gimmick but it aloud them to take 180 quid off me. hmm not convinced.

so today I decided to service the truck started with the engine flush then battled with the bash plates had to cut some bolts off been bashed to bits at kirton
changed oil swapped out fuel filter
extended diff locker breather
tried welding new nuts onto the brackets for the bash plates could not get them to take what am I doing wrong?
gunked and cleanned engine bay looks better not up to Daz standards
topped up the original battery with 2L of water
tried to straighten out bashed bash plate NO chance
welded mashed up original bash plates and fitted them instead - a couple of bolts I could weld in,
pop rivited snorkle head on
tipped fuel conditioner into tank,
I think that was it
