Never had any tropuble with the legs, when we fit the suspension.....
on the hoist :lol: :lol: :lol:
And as you say, doesnt lean when you turn, and getting the wheel alignment set up to allow for this so it doesnt wear the outer edge, especially of the left front is important.
The left front gets it 2 ways, on high crowned roads, the car "leans" on that tyre, and when turning at an intersection, when you turn right, you turn a bigger arc, generally at a faster speed across the lanes, than when you turn left, which, when on a car that doesnt lean any where near as much when it turns, ends up cornmerning faster as well, as the corner speed is governed by the drivers comfort factor.
Minimising the pos camber helps with this.Comment

That's certainly looking the goods now Crammy ... top job.
Great opportunity to nick Joey's tyres while he's off in PNG ... and see what it really can do :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks to guys like yourself and PP, without it, it wouldn't be looking like it does! (And I'd probably have a few extra bucks in my back pocket... or then again might have gone about it all the wrong way and cost me even more)Originally posted by Chippy
I'm envious of Joey's tractor tyres... I wonder if he'd notice if I swapped them? :P
I might have to get a spare set to fill out the gaurds a bit and use them on the rough stuff... Well I'll get them one day, definitley not today!2008 GXL M6 D4D, Silver
