    tassuperkart Its a lie I tell you!

    Just reading around a couple of wheel alignment threads.

    Some have fitted adjustable rear upper arms to correct/add camber, fair enough and I get that.

    On my import '90 NA 2+0, the stock rear upper arms have eccentric adjusters at the inner end.
    They look mighty factory to me. so stock in fact that I damaged the eccentric washer when removing them recently.
    I discovered these when rattling the pivot bolts out rather than the nuts which buggered the locating tab on eccentric washer.........arrrgh! I wondered why the rattle gun struggled then suddenly spun up!!!

    Are they adjustable stock on some models or would these have been retro-fitted at some stage? (In which case someone should be applauded for workmanship)!

    Thats standard E, i must confess i did rattle gun the first one i ver took apart and buggered the locating tab.

    The adjustment works fine but its not enough when the car is lowered and bushes sag.

    I still prefer stock over aftermarket arms
