Hi all.

Thanks,

Easy to remember as toe adjust is the bolts TOE-ward the front of car on swing plate. FYI, moving these will change camber as well.

Hi,
Do I need to loosening others bolts before to adjust toe bolt?
Thanks,

The trailing arm moves as an assembly; toe, camber, and bolts to the spring plate need to be loosened to adjust the toe. As noted change one and you need to adjust the other. The toe is the eccentric bolt the furthest from the hub, most toward the front of the car.

Mark each of the adjustment bolts orientation so that you will know where you’re starting from, or at least how to get back there. This will also help you to see what changes you make and help you to understand how the system works.

I drew a diagram for reference when I was adjusting for a bit of negative camber. To me it was hard to wrap my head around. I hope this helps. Also, it helps to be overly caffeinated, slightly intoxicated, and covered in grease with bleeding knuckles.

snbush67, Eloquently put and I'll follow the advice, especially the last comments! Makes sense to me and keeps it simple. These little cars are fun to work on... Kip, thanks
