i've had them for years on my car, and i drive it hard (not just in a straight line). never had any problems with them. and why should i when they're fitted and checked every 5000kms or so (just like part of my servicing)

In the late 80's subaru didn't know whether to attack f1 or world rally.. in the end they attacked both.. setting up STi (rally) and Subaru Motorsport (F1)... i know which worked... oh, and speak of the devil (and just for the record)... camber pins come standard on some subaru's :wink: |

a car can have zero static camber (that is, when the wheels are pointed straight ahead), and yet have camber whilst cornering because that's what caster does... it allows the wheels to have maximum contact with the road for braking and accelerating, whilst allowing enough camber to corner sufficiently... you acheive this by leaning the tower backwards (or as its known) positive camber :roll: try it at home.. any factory car has very little camber that way maintaining good braking, yet when you turns the wheels... it suddenly gains camber... why.. cause it has CASTER.... now, do the same with a shopping car wheel (from your know it all website).. and funny that.. no matter where you turn it, it doesn't get camber... :roll: the difference is that the pivot axis is vertical.. thus having no caster!!! the setback is that too much positive camber effects a cars right height.. try that at home too.. turns the wheels to lock and notice the car sit up :P (this also has a little to do with KPI, or King pin inclination... but not as much).... now.. funny how i can quote real world facts and your quoting internet pages.... :roll: DON'T EVER SAY I DON'T KNOW SUSPENSION!!! its the one thing i do know backwards... notice i comment very little about engines, or gearboxes, or sound systems etc. etc.. why??? because i openly admit i know very little about them.....

camber bolts that come from the factory have a very slight tolerance.. that is... somewhere +/- 0.5 degree or less.. now.. if it fails at this tolerace, it makes very little difference... but aftermarket ones, with tolerances often around +/- 3 degrees are ridiculous... that means that if it were to fail it could go from -3 to positve 3... and that's not something any factory would ever do....

i think from memory subaru's are a little bit more... +/- 1 degree.. I THINK :?
they do this to allow a setup to compliment the AWD... but, even at this tolerance, it won't have a drastic effect on a street driven car if it were to fail... but, it does have factory engineering and testing, unlike aftermarket ones....

if a bolt 'failed' (became loose), it's going to move say 2mm in it's hole. An adjustable one will be able to move the same as a stock one from my understanding, as the way you change an adjustable one is to rotate it in the hole to a particular angle. If it becomes loose, you're going to notice it - but it's not going to move a whole 6 degrees. once a bolt is loaded up, it's not moving. it will probably move under miminal load, but if it's a race track situation - the driver will know his car and notice the difference. and greg, <moderator hat on> so you know a lot about suspension. there's no need to be rude about sharing your knowledge. it's fine to point out if people are wrong, that's what this is all about - for people to learn and to share things they've learnt in a friendy manner, not to put each other down.

rupe can't we just sack him??? :lol: :lol: :lol:
and since you started it pay attention to where a trolleys pivot point is, now think of it as a front steering wheel (not the thing in your hands) now stop before your keys go crazy again remember that a wheel is.... wait for it..... ROUND!!!!! you once again have made yourself look silly, because you didn't think to look at the explanation from the correct angle did you??? you didn't did you??? in case you didn't work it out, its from either pivot point down, or from the floor up - and in comparison to looking from the front or back of a car tyre not exactly a lateral thinker are you?

it doesn't matter where the pivot point is in relation to the datum... its the angle at which the pivot point is in relation to vertical... in a trolley where the pivot point is foward of the wheel, all that's going to do is increase the scrub radius because the pivot axis is still vertically... that's why (in the real world) a trolley still has zero caster because it pivots vertically, they used it to explain a concept that you obviously didn't pick up on....
