flattening rear arms on 5 link

Post by crankycruiser »

Ive heard of ppl putting longer arms in the rears of their patrols/cruisers to get them flatter but im not keen on diong that as i cant easily get longer top arms in the rear of the 80,

I was thinkn of moving all the arms up 50mm or so on the diff end.. has anyone done this???

Your getting rear steer from your arms being on such a high angle and so short , I remember reading about it before , why not lower it 50mm and adjust the bumpstops to suit , avoid scrubbing , Cheers Paul.

scrubbing isnt a problem as ive had the angle grinder to the body already........ it will be lower eventually.. but flatter arms are goin to help then too...............
