Susspension (Possitive Cmaber)/Allinement troubles/Torque Stay Rod Bush

[BobBrumby]

1990 Brumby:

1. Would worn front shockies/springs cause the wear i am getting on the outside of my front tyres? Like if the springs sag does this make more possitive camber? No lift, stock suspension.

 

2. I went and got a wheel allinement, after my crash, I had the spare on at the time and i think i got a dud mechanic. He said my chasis was bent out 10mm. When I got home I compared the regular wheels and the one spare. I found that where he put his "measuring assy." datum point on the spare there was ripple sticking out 15mm from hub. The regular wheels are 5mm out from hub, where he put his "measuring assy.", this would explain the 10mm of bent chasis. Would it be worth getting another allinment at a differnt place with all 4 wheels the same.

 

3. When I did my clutch I noticed the Torque stay rod bush was split, is the device that controlls Torque steer?

a bad torque rod bushing will effect all alignment angles to some extent.

 

get the bushings fixed first then get it aligned somewhere else.
