Re: My car is crooked?

I got hooked on DOOM ( Christmas 1993), took me a year to get through it and I never beat the boss at the end. Missed all the Mario stuff when it came out, then, got hooked on XBOX and played DOOM when re-leased for the consoles. Now I am re-playing METRO EXODUS...an incredible game. sorry for threa...

Re: My car is crooked?

While I think of it...as you are a very technical person...here is a link to a book that was one of my bibles....in learning about suspension. https://www.erleague.com.br/_files/ugd/e67bfd_ecc23522a9eb448495593a8885d72b56.pdf?index=true How to Make Your Car Handle is filled with lots of basic inform...

Re: My car is crooked?

Morning Rush, Glad it seems to be working out! Just a thought on adjusting your front toe setting, next time if you do, make sure have your equivalent weight in the driver seat. Also, tires are HUGE in how a car feels...and handles. I'm sure you are aware of that. Sears Roadhandler All Season tires ...

Re: My car is crooked?

PHEW...is right! After 3 days of no sleep, engaging the latest super computer " FRONTIER", to the point that the U.S. Military has called me to back off ( they needed it to figure out how to hack the Japanese Sushi shop in Beijing), and, my wife said I need to stop making life size cardboa...

Re: My car is crooked?

If I see the picture correctly, you have an after market isolator there for the spring, it look like a funky cone of some sort? Again, the stock one was a rubber "donut", approximately 1/2" thick and flat. The the ground end of the spring sat flat against that. Is it possible that thi...

Re: My car is crooked?

Sorry...preload would be if one of the heim joints had to be pulled up more to get it bolted up. This would then load the other side even more. It does not look like that is your issue but good to be aware of as part of understanding suspension. That you say the car was like this before sure says it...

Re: My car is crooked?

That right hand spring does NOT look seated onto the isolator, or...it just does not look the same as the other side, spring coils look further apart?! Spring(s) in the right way...sure they are but the flat ground should be UP and the open end tucked into the small "notch" in the bottom o...

Re: My car is crooked?

Are you sure there is NOT a rubber isolator stuck up top on the high side?, like there are 2 there? Maybe missed it? Are the crossmember large mounts equal on both sides...IE spacing....? That it was like this before....says it has to be something in the subframe/control arm area. Can you see any wr...

Re: 510 Day - Byron's place in Maple Ridge

510 Day 2024 Friday, 510 Day, was both a good day and a bit of a sad day, for me. I left my daughters garage at 10:45, planning to hit Mission Raceway by noon, to help Andy with the motorcycle track day he was involved with. I made the mistake of going out 16th Avenue, which was beyond stupidly slo...

Control arm bent?

These things with no modification can bend quite easily.
