Re: adj strut1 1200 Rallycar...It is quite easy to do a wheel alignment without the elaborate setup you see at Jax Tyres or Beaurepairs etc. In Formula Ford it is desireable to do a wheel align after setup changes but not necessary. All it takes is a clamp to fit on the rims of the front and back wheels and a string to determine by the use of a rule to see how far the front wheels are out in comparison to the back ones.

Re: adj strut1 Yeah, actually l did the design using Pro Engineer. Which could easily be considered one of the best cad packages, along with ideas and unigraphix.
I tried to post the pics, but it never works for me!!!
I tried to make it simple to machine, but l also wanted it to be really durable. For this reason it is slightly over engineered, but l like it better this way.
If l find my notes, l'll be able to tell you the amount of camber and castor it allows. They were pretty extreme amounts!!

Re: adj strut1 Where can this "clamp" be purchased? Any more details on this, like a photo?

Re: adj strut1 note: blue area is thread, and green bottom spring perch turns on this giving adjustable ride height also

Re: adj strut1 is it true what they say???
i was told that everytime you make adjustments to the suspension you really should go and get a wheel alignment to make sure everything is matched up and stuff? do people actually do this or is this just "ideal"
