if you put both spacers on the outside, will it make the top of the wheel lean out or lean in? vice versa etc.... what is the correct way? my damn arms are brand new and the tops of my wheels lean in sooo bad. ive tried one on either side and both on the outside. they are about to get cut and leaned out....

Both washers on the outside. There is a topic somewhere on here about this.

Move the arm through its range without the torsion bar and shock installed. At ride hieght it should have slight negative camber. Did you raise the upper stop and lower the bottom stop?

mine have airbags, so i can't flip them because of the air bag mounts i dont think, i certainly can't flip them upside down... dean only uses one jig, so i'm not sure how that effects it, but i dont think it will be right. i have negative camber now (top of tire leans in) every other buggy i see has positive camber or wheels sit flat. This is what i am looking to accomplish, because right now my stubs are angled down instead of up therefore putting more angle on my cv's. correct me if i confused positive and negative camber.

Have you always had negative camber.. I have seen that when people bend their torsion housing.

i did on one arm. but i think i bent the old arm, because when i built the buggy the bags lined up good, then that one got washed out looking, the other was never negative... that might be the problem though. i think im just going to have to cut them and adjust my camber and then weld up the cut and plate it...

did you just get new arms and put them on.as far as the washers go both go on the outside.there is a left and right arm.if you swap them the tire lays out at the top.you could try to switch them before cutting on them the least you would have to do is re-fab your air bag mounts if this lays them out flatter for you.just a suggestion.chad :mrgreen:
