del Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 The newer subaru strut assemblies have a way to adjust camber. Is there a way to just bring the struts to the car, and not the rotors and hubs? Although the part that the strut bolts to, and the bearings are in will have to come with the strut. thanks del ps I like my current 4wheel disc brake set up with six lugs and 14" wheels. Would prefer to ware out my tires evenly, not to mention it handles better with the camber in order. I am planning a 4" lift in front. 1988 GL station wagon non turbo 5sp dr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 short version....no in order to get the camber adjustment, you need the struts AND knuckles. and EA hubs and axles aren't compatible with EJ knuckles, baccaruda got his XT6 calipers to bolt to his legacy knuckles...but IIRC it took alot of fabrication. the easier way, would be to modify the control arm (or the point where it bolts to the crossmember) to push the bottom of the knuckle out slightly. of course, then you'll run a slightly higher risk of over-extending the front axles....

del Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 thanks guys:cool: guess it is time to modify my extra crossmember and build a lift. Having a parts car comes in handy. del Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 guess it is time to modify my extra crossmember and build a lift.Be warned. If you want to do the kinda camber kit I done, drilling a huge hole in the engine crossmember IS a nightmare.. Took my brother and I at least 30mins of drilling and about 2 hours for drinks and catching our breath while the drill cooled down to get all 4 holes. It might be different if you can have the crossmember out and use a drill press... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
del Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Since the parts car this crossmember is in has no engine should be easy enough to take out and use the drill press, or could a torch take it out? It appears the arm is now not dependent on this for centering (the cam is now doing this job). del Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phizinza Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hmm, I rought hole torched through may work. I haven't giving that any thought. The bits that are welded to the crossmember will take most of the impacts then. The drill bit didn't leave a nice sight, I had to do a bit of cleaning up with a file afterwards.
