i have 1 here that has a badly cracked trailing arm 

the top wish bones had 20-25 mm of shimes in them 

i can repair it no probs but would like some measurements 

 

 

cheers  bat

ps paul cross member not chassie   thanks anyway

[Indy Orange]

Can't you use the measurement points of the chassis ,to check if the crossmember is properly aligned?

[DMLC71]

My thoughts exactly Paul

[bat 53]

yes boys 

i have checked all i can by those measurements 

but to my way of thinking the 2 top shocky holes are the ones that should be right 

so can anyone help with that measurement

 

cheers  bat

Id just put the front kframe back on the front and
weld up the lower arm..thats very common they crack
there specially if it has had a v8 up the front.
Mines cracked and so was my brothers.it will b fine.

Ive even heard of guys on fakebook that cant get there
kframes back in there lh-lx and have used ratchet
straps to get the back arm between the rails..

B #@$^%& we can edit..

i understand , i have not got an issue with those parts 

the part i am concerned about is the shimes on the top wish bone 

25mm each side that is why i am after the measurement between the top shocky holes

 

 

cheers  bat

what

[rodomo]

I have 2 here, if I remember I'll measure tomorrow.

[S pack]

Yeah ive got about that on uca.

Agree, I've got close to an 1" of shims on the upper arms to get around 1.5 deg of neg camber.

[rodomo]

One is on the car and difficult to measure, the other one is 787mm between hole centres.

[bat 53]

thanks everyone measured the bent one 

and 2 others suppose to be straight 

all 3 are 787 mm    

 

cheers  bat
