TheBirdistheWord Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Tru-Align-Kit-4052-1968-72-510-SSS-74-79-B210-610-710-Handling-Improvement-/352034338985?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10 Da faq?!?! these dont fit my application, but i stumbled on them looking for a cheaper alternative to ermishes lowered steering knuckles. Thought someone else might want to buy them! Anyone have anymore info or background on these? the instructions look like a decent amount of effort went into these pieces, I dont claimed to be a datsun parts specialist by any stretch. But these still seem very peculiar and rare. One off almost? Quote Link to comment
Tedman Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Interesting parts. Looks like the steering knuckle locates on the ball joint with an eccentric that can add camber and/or caster to the strut depending on how it is rotated. Modern camber plates and adjustable T/C rods make these obsolete, so I would file these under historical interest only. Totally different end goal than the re-arc'd steering knuckles. I think Ermish gets them from DP Racing. Not many options here, I'm afraid. Pay up or try to bend and reharden your own. Quote Link to comment
TheBirdistheWord Posted October 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 i agree that this is novel more than anything. I have adjustable hardware going in, I was more just wondering if there was some obscure backstory to them. Quote Link to comment

This will adjust your scrub radius, ackerman, and trailing caster offset (not sure the exact term for that) Re-arc'd steering knuckles are to correct bump for cars with added caster. You can just replace the tie rod with a hiem joint and shim out the bump. Quote Link to comment
