MorganM Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 it does, and I tried...kinda but it wouldn't move Herm is it rust-welded? Or was there something else physicly limiting the proccess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 i took it all apart and there is no adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_talk Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Yep, its adjusted at the 3 bolts, moving for and aft adjusts toe, twisting adjusts camber. One setting effects the other so you need to check and adjust both at the same time. The adjustment range is pretty limited, if your looking for big changes you will probably need to modify something. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_talk Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hmm... the holes should be oversized, the're not?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 My guess would be that adjustment is attained by adding small shims. By using tapered shims you could feasibly make small adjustments to both toe and camber. Probably not enough to get the negative camber that Will is after though.

MilesFox Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 you could stack washers between the trailing arm and the side of the torsion bar, to space it out a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_talk Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Here's the page from the '89 FSM (had to split it so it was readable)... Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 Probably not enough to get the negative camber that Will is after though. I've already got -2.3* of camber in the rear..... ...but ONLY -1.7* in the front. And thats with no mods on the back other than springs.....the thing is toe'd in a freaking mile tho. I guess im just going to slot those three holes and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I like how the specialty tool for rear alignment is "a piece of wood". I guess Subaru anticipated what kind of people would be buying their cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
