fuel Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 independant rear end, but it more resembles a swing axle arrangement like beetles and skodas use more than usual IRS - has coil springs in the trailing arm as well as a transverse leaf going from one side to the other (possibly for anti-roll?)

Alistair Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Did someone put the leaf in upside down? Will have a look, you mean the leaf that spans the back yeah? Suppose if they naturally have a little negative camber that could do it. Looks good.Independant rear right. Does it drive ok/no bent axle? Maybe someone has put a longewr axle in it for some reason giving camber. Yeah drives fine, both rear wheels have + camber no matter what wheels are on it.

Toucan Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 What phil said, its swing axle so camber depends on height. Should be about 6 coils in the rear with a colour code of either white yellow or red an a single transverse leaf. Did you roll it back and forth after you let it off the jack, cause that just looks crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will check out spring/leaf combo later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 it looks like those tyres are going to hit the guard anyway as the suspension travels, doesn't look like even going to zero or negative camber is going to fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Nah G5s looked like that, were a mission to put in, had to use a combination of jacks, but once they tucked in they didnt rub once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowlancer Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Red centres would look off the chain with white. Add some ambulance livery or something for awesomes and a 13bt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cute wee gem Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 They seem to be pretty neutral to maybe having slightly positive camber at stock height, they tuck in real quick as they get lower too. I wouldn't worry, that's just how they are. Might pay to have a good look just in case, though. I've got no spares except engine bits, no badges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
