Ridetech Upper A-Arms - Lateral-g Forums

RBuhr69 · #1 08-10-2013, 06:37 PM

Since Ridetech is closed I need some advice while I am at this stage of the project..

I was putting the upper A-arms on and couldn't decide if the caster slug should go to the outside (towards engine bay) or the inside (towards the wheel). I presume the outside towards the engine bay so they can be changed out easily as this was the way we did it on our racecar.

The instruction sheet didn't say one way or the other but the picture showed towards the engine bay..

Is that correct?

No first hand experience but I'll "assume" the slugs are to be facing as displayed in that diagram. Easy access.

ok, thanks.....I think it is correct, just didn't want to get too far into the build and have to do it over again..

Cross shaft has offset built in. You can mount it either way. Just depends on how many shims are required and if you want to see the slugs or not.

Ok, thanks.. I noticed that as well so I guess there is no right/wrong then.

As I am trying to avoid as much pain for the alignment guru, I guess my next question would be what is the majority way people have there's setup.

Slugs to the inside (towards engine bay) or slugs to the outside (towards the wheel)......

Just curious....
