Reveeen Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I'm in the process of lifting my '92 Loyale. As expected the camber is out to lunch. The "big" question: If I make my lower control arms longer at what point do I run out of axle? (I can pick up some at the top of the strut, but not enough in my estimation) Thanks in advance for any/all replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 you have to bring the top of the strut in as you lift 7mm to every inch of lift. its not that the lower control arm remains too short, its the fact that the top is farther out in proportion compared to the height of the lift, making a wider angle.

ivantruckman Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 i remember reading 1 1/2 inches, not sure, i wonder if you could add length to the Axel as well. I'm getting ready to do a 4 inch lift on my 91 loyale, sounds like goon info . thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivantruckman Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 miles fox, do you mean in "toward the engine" 7mm for every inch , like a conical shape for the front strut tower extensions.?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveeen Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Ok, well, I went about this lifting thing a bit differently, I built strut extensions. So what I have is a conventional strut, with a 7" extension on the bottom of it, I have room to move the strut about an inch inward (at the top), and being a "crazed old man" with a welder, I figure if the lower control arm was about an inch longer, the camber would behave itself.
