Barney has a heap of neg camber on the rear and God knows what the toe-in there is.
I instructed the PO how to mod the fixed brackets, but he went a bit far!!!
Noooooo, I never touched it, as handling was OK (for a dry car):twisted:
Any more on that doc?
1. Get wheel alignment at rear checked for EACH side.
2. Do some trigonometry to calculate how far up to move the hole.
3. Don't be surprised if the hole also needs moving forwards to eliminate toe-out. Many old crabbing Minis have this problem, even with no shims between the subby and bracket. A solution (if nothing seems bent) is to move the hole forward a few mm then add some shims for adjustment.
I have successfully fixed a few ausmini cars after they went to several well known and respected wheel aligners to stop rear end crabbing, and got the `sorry cannot fix' treatment.
