Hello, I was recently putting my car back together and noticed that my front left wheel is sitting about 2cm further forward than my front right wheel
I have made measurements from the crossmember to the rear srings and found only a 3mm difference and that is as close to perfect as i could get it by using the "play" in the mounting bolts.
The bolt that "should" adjust this (i dont know what its called but its the one you adjust that is situated just in front of the swaybar mount under the radiator) does nothing. The only way to make this effective would be to place a larger bush but there must be a more effective way?
i am stumped. Is there a bolt that could be adjusted to make up the 2cm difference? Am i trying to fix a problem that should be ignored? Should i burn the car and start a new project? (cause that is what i feel like doing!)
Any help is appreciated but can you keep it non technical because even though im handy with a spanner i dont know the names of all the steering/suspension components.
Cheers, Jared.

I got mine not too long ago from AutoPro. I think they were a universal fit boot but they fitted the ute perfectly. I had the luxury of dumping my complete steering assembly on the AutoPro counter though. Have fun!

i just checked and the manifold is an oval port GX manifold. im not really sure what "all linkages" encompasses so i took a photo of everything. Im not sure how to upload photos on to the forum but i can email them to you if youre interested.
Cheers.

Hey all, Im selling my twin 40mm webber on A-series manifold setup if anyone is interested. I havent run them on the car because I havent had an engine in the car since i bought them. I dont really know much about webbers, or carbies for that matter so I will have trouble answering technical questions. I was chasing $500 for them. I really dont know what they are worth but i paid a little more than that for them and considering i havent even used them i think it's fair.
Cheers, Jared

some of the more subtle bits look good but the majority of it is C.R.A.P.
