thats the only way. changing those washers around will affect camber a bit, but to get your toe right you gotta line your holes up or redrill.....get busy! |

Kyle wrote: all of us around here run 1 and 1 Then you all would be wrong. Putting a washer inbetween the arm and the pivot cup does nothing except make your axle shorter. It does nothing for caster, camber or toe. Both washers should be on the outside of the bushing exactly where Dr. Porche designed them to be at. |

The question was and is in regard to toe adjustment. Not trans/trailing arm centering. I know the book too Kyle. |

I will admit, I have been schooled, I always thought its was 2 on the outside no matter what. I've never seen that diagram. (bogus homemade detail from eastern Ohio??) lol. Learn something new everyday. |

If you must re-drill the arms to get the toe correct I'm thinking the arm is bent. I would check that first and if your not measuring with a center line down the lenght of the buggy, probably not getting a accurate reading. |
