Posted 13/05/12 11:21 PM Posted 13/05/12 11:21 PM (edited) Mine with SSL all roundStock power. Driveways with a rise and then drop (over a footpath or something) pose big problems but generally if its just up or down, its fine on an angle. The tailshaft seems to be ok. Out of warranty now and its got ever so slight amounts of play. At 130kph or so theres a vibration and shudder through the car, but im hoping that's just wheel weights. I have a whine between 104kph and 108kph but only when im on the gas, could be the diff but not really bothering me. The fronts wear quite badly on the inside, which cant be altered during an alignment so I think I need something aftermarket, any ideas? Edited 13/05/12 11:29 PM by Rancidpunx

Posted 13/05/12 11:56 PM Posted 13/05/12 11:56 PM (edited) No its close to the suspension but does not rub, I think I just need all the camber taking out, but im already on the maximum adjustment according to the tyre shop. Maybe they are just cockends though. Edited 13/05/12 11:57 PM by Rancidpunx

Are they giving you though, the maximum camber. Or maximum amount to try and get rid of the camber? Might be confused with what you want? Everyone makes mistakes and might've misunderstood what you wanted? Try another shop and see what they reckon
