Whiteline Lateral Link Adjustability and Axle Length
Posted: Sun Nov 11, 2007 3:00 am
I had a question regarding the amount of adjustability and the axis where the adjustment happens with the whiteline lateral links.
A little background, I have a 1991 Legacy Turbo and the new coilover suspension I installed has no method to adjust camber via the 2 strut bolts. This leaves me with +1.0 and +1.3 degrees of camber, left and right, respectively with the stock lateral links. This is a rally car, so camber bolts likely won't hold up to the abuse, so I think my next best option is adjustable lateral links.
From my understanding the length on the lateral links on the T-Leg's are the same as the GC imprezas, which I think is the same as the WRX wagons. (Obviously the endlinks are different on the Legacy, but that aside...) Given that I would like -1.0 degrees of camber, would Whiteline WRX wagon lateral links give ~2 degrees of adjustability safely? Then the other question would be would the WRX wagon axles I'm using be too short given that adjustment? If the axis of the adjustment is around the axle, I would assume the axle length wouldn't change, but if the axis is the strut top (which I'm guessing is the case), then a larger lateral link adjustment would be necessary, meaning I would likely need WRX sedan axles and also WRX sedan lateral links?
Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks for any help people may have.
