Rear radius arm toe spacers

[zhastaph]

Sometime ago 1 of my radius arm mounts come loose and tore itself to bits - and all the spacers that adjust toe just ... erm ... [i]vanished[/i] :rolleyes:

Now, I appreciate I really need my alignement doing properly, but I'm halfway through do my bushes for polly's so am gonna wait till this is done.

In the meantime {[i]as I seem to be dragging my heels a bit with the poly's[/i]} I thought it's about time I at least did something.

========

Now would I be right in assuming that because rear toe is normally measured between the 2 rear wheels rather than along the body that these things are gonna come out of the factory with the same amount of spacers on each side?

Could anyone under their's sometime have a look and count the spacers both sides and see if they match?

Thankyou :)

The alignment is done using 2 parallel bars referenced to the front and read wheel positions, the toe/out is determined by measuring the difference between the leading and trailing side of the rear wheel rims.

So it is possible that there are a different number of spacers on each side.

Bugger - oh well ...........

The Spacers (Shims) are located between the arm mount and the chassis. Unless you ripped off a section of frame, they should still be there.

The 2 bolts on the arm mount had come loose. The shims only slot in and are clamped by the bolts, hence loose bolts = no shims :-(
