brodster Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Pulling my 510 apart in the front to overhaul suspension, brakes, etc. I am no suspension expert, but it seemed unusual that the LCA pivots were at such different angles. Is this normal? Perhaps this is the way they set it from factory? I don't remember any abnormal camber or tire wear, but that was over three years ago. Thanks Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 those are after market they use to use those to adjust camber Quote Link to comment
brodster Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 those are after market they use to use those to adjust camber And that explains why none of the drawings show those pieces. Currently I am rebuilding everything. I am putting in camber caster plates and coilovers. Should I just pull those things off then? Quote Link to comment
Uber Deaf One Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yes pull those off lol. What a crappy way to adjust camber.... that's messing with your roll center as well. And it's taking it the wrong way lol Quote Link to comment
Boaty Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thirded'. Remove those. Akward way to adjust camber. This is 2012, and we all have camber plates, coilovers, adjustable control arms, adjustable T/C rods, and bumpsteer spacers galore. It kind of reminds me of the offset control arm bushings... I would never run those on my dime, I would never trust them. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Does that bolt not go all the way through the x-member? SKETCHY! That could fail very easily... Quote Link to comment
Sinnful Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 It kind of reminds me of the offset control arm bushings... I would never run those on my dime, I would never trust them. haha that is what Mikey just pulled out of his car when I sold him a set of my LCA's Quote Link to comment
brodster Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thanks for the info. However it looks like I need a new bolt or pivot since it looks like the original one has been shortened. Are these things easy to get or readily available from Nissan? I am on a time crunch. Quote Link to comment
Sinnful Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 yeah you need new pins. i have a spare set that I could probably part with since you need them on crunch time. if you are interested PM me, Im south of you just outside of vancouver Quote Link to comment
