arch mods on 3dr 6 degree beams??????
hi fellas
any one with 3drs with 6 degree beams/adjustable tca runing 1.5 neg camber front and back, had to make arch mods and had a caster issue then on front due to the front camber
on front wheel, very close to rear of front arch, then wheel does not return from lock when you let it go if you catch my meaning.
any feedback of your experiance would be appreciated
thanks dave

no caster is non adjustable as standard ,but where front camber has pushed wheel out into the arch, id be assuming the its adjusted the caster due to the non return of the steering

no its got the standard 3dr front arb, when you turn the wheel, at 9clock where the arch sinks in to the point, its 2-3mm clearance, when the wheel turns lock-lock if the arb bushes were to wear and cause movment it would rip the arch off dont see how i have anything incorect all the settings have been checked over and over ill get some pics up now asap

I had the same problem with my 3dr. When you are pushing the tca's out to give it more camber, this makes the wheel move back because of the standard arb.
So the more camber you want the more the wheel will move back and will catch the kit.
I've had to spacer my arb to push wheels forward again.
This is making my car tram line so I think the only option is to return back to standard tca's and remove all spacers from my arb then buy some top mounts to adjust camber than way.
3drs are a night mare because of the kit.

no bud,deffo no spacers/shims on it,spoke to a few companys today some dont think i should have a prob,and my tuner told he had same probs and once you make arch mod will be fine, but still front caster issues are mind blowing have to cut the strut tops off weld in top plate fit top mounts to cure this im afraid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
