Julian Thompson Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Another question: Having built the front suspension on my car and roughly set the tracking as suggested to 11 turns of the track rod end the car toes out with the wheels obviously fully off the ground. I've got the 2 Widetrack rack extenders left in their bag but surely I can't need these too! No mention in the manual I can see and I'm wondering if the car has a "new style"(?) steering rack that is longer? Or do 7's have THAT much bump steer (!)

StewartG Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Are you sure they're rack extenders and not shock extenders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Thompson Posted June 13, 2002 Author Share Posted June 13, 2002 Nope, not sure at all! They're not mentioned in the manual, Stewart, and yes, they would mean that the tracking would be better if the suspension was pushed lower by the extenders. I presume these just screw on the top of the dampers? Anything to watch for? Thanks, Jue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Carmichael Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Both 8% and 22% racks are now available with long track arms. If you didn't have the spacers in and needed them, the car would be toed in by about 2 inches - not anything you can ignore.

Julian Thompson Posted June 14, 2002 Author Share Posted June 14, 2002 Peter's right again! The rack I have is the new long 22% item so the spacers are not needed! Nice one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
