Default TCA´s

hi!

are the lower TCA from 4*4 and 2wd identical?
i want to adjust my camber on the front of my escos
and dont want to use adjustable tca´s,because
they are not allowed in germany/austria.

i´ve lowered my car ~3cm with eibach springs
and want a front camber with ~1degree

does someone know if the 2wd tca is shorter than the 4*4.
or could i use a capri-escort mk3,fiesta tca?

best regards chris

Different fixings sorry.

The 2wd is held on with a bolt on top and the 4x4 with a bolt through the side.

Can you modify the inner mounting points ?

Or swap them back over at check time ??

Use offset bushes, then just turn as required to the figure you want and lock off.

Cheapest option unfortunately is to have some made, but you would need to approach someone who would pour them out of silicone for you.
Can you not use adjustable top mounts or are these also not allowed ?
