Super Stormtrooper

[Jay101]

I've had it for 3 years and has served its purpose. It's a lot smaller so parking and turning the wheel whilst stationary is harder. But we are all men here and have guns! Cost me £45 not including boss.

I'm gonna be honest, its not the best of quality, top of the steering wheel is "flimsy" but like I've said has never bothered me having it for 3 years on 2 micras

 

[mike-f]

[Jay101]

Get that ting on mate! how do you know how much to adjust it by?

 

[Jay101]

There is a thread saying that it is 808mm from bush to bush. But I'll probably get a plank of wood sit it next to wheel and get a measuring tape and measure from arch to wood. Making sure its same distance each side. Make sense? Lol

 

[Dougyledds]

Sort of? lol

 

[Jay101]

Oooooo another parcel

Bear in mind that the p/rod will change angles as you corner too eh jay
So when you turn hard right the offside arch will lift and that will shorten the rod effectively (shifting the axle to the offside )

 

[Jay101]

Nice one, cheers Frank

 

[frank]

Nice one, cheers Frank

Depending how low you are, the axle tends to shift to the right when carrying passengers and when hitting speedbumps eh.
So you might need to set your rod a little short maybe ?

 

[Jay101]

Aye will be doing that then

 

[solarice]

Think the panhard on mine is flat, so it pretty much can't go anywhere

But i just adjusted it by fitting it loose, rolling the car about a bit then looking at it from a distance. You can tell fairly easily if its off.

 

[Jay101]

Cheers Solarice great advice

 

[Stani1029]

When setting mines i would sit a level from the wheelarch to the rim of the wheel nearest the ground and measure from the level to the rim from the top nearest the arch until the match both sides

 

[Jay101]

Might be lil difficult stani, got some poke

 

[frank]

Might be lil difficult stani, got some poke

And some lol ​

 

[skymera]

I adjusted my rod by eye looking at the tyre tread and the edge of the wheel arch

[Stani1029]

Might be lil difficult stani, got some poke

So cant you put a level against the wheel/tyres then measure across to the arch? Same method kinda

 

[Jay101]

That's what I'll be doing stani

[hoopdub]

before i lowered my rear i used a set square against the underbody, marked on the body and the axle, then after i lowered it, and fitted my adjustable rod, i put the square back on the marks and adjusted the rod so the marks were back in line

 

[hoopdub]

marked where the yellow lines are, matched them back up after lowering and rod adjustablimsismism

 

[skymera]

heh, I never thought of that. I just ripped my old one off then had to guess ever since fitting the new one
