On my saph im converting to complete 2wd running gear front/rear transmission/engine etc.Im not happy with the way the front wheels are sitting way too much forward for my liking :-( ive asked before about this and been told thats how the fronts sit on 2wd's.

For the record the front is running 2wd rack/crossmember,tca's and arb all is 2wd and all poly bushed.I thought the problem may of been i was without realising running a 4wd arb but i was given a 2wd one so fitted that but it didnt make any difference.

I'm going to remove the whole front end again can get this sorted before i get round to putting the engine in.I'm to get another 2wd arb just in case one i was given was wrong one and i thinking of getting some adjustable tca's,is there anything else i can do to improve the way the front wheels sit and to improve driving and handling.When done i want to have a go at some track action so whats a good fast road/track compromise?




Engine is not in car yet so thats why its sitting high at front.

I'd say it's still on a 4x4 arb. The wheels normally sit further forward on a 4x4, so definately not how it should be on a 2wd.

Wheels look good!

My mate had this when he fitted adjustable TCAs, not the issue but worth mentioning

Front shocks and hubs are also different .

Also , put the engine in just to drop the front end down . you may find this will make it look abit better

Forgot to mention its on 2wd konis and hubs too so basicly everything is 2wd,with just a question mark still on the arb.

I was thinking that too but engine not been done yet so that be along way off yet,at present its easier with it out as i have better access to stuff and i can strip front end out again.

With the weather being shite and been stuck in all day lol im thinking maybe ditching arb and going with compression stuts along with adjustable tca's?

You've basically added lots of castor, and this is something which lots of people aim to achieve on these cars! It might look odd just now, but it also may well look ok, once it's back down out the clouds....

Only compression struts or a different ARB will reduce the castor from this position, TCAs are for camber adjustment

Looking for a fast road poss sometime track car set up.Would fitting compression struts with adjustable tca's along with possible coilovers be overkill?

I may try get hold of another 2wd arb and fit that along with adjustable tca's 1st and try that.Currently got koni's with lowered springs on but am tempted to go with coilovers.

Defo got 4x4 arb on had the same problem when I put the wrong arb on by mistake
