Installed a complete wrx rear end on my coupe along with an outback 4.11 rear lsd. The passenger side wheel sits flush with the body but the driverside rear sticks out about an inch?? This did this on my stock shocks and coilovers. Was fine before the rear end swap. I've tried adjusting the camber on my coilover (rear camber plates), unbolting the rear end slighty and shifting it to the passenger side, bolting it up without the axle, adjusting the lateral link toe. Any ideas?
does Bryson have a frame table? I'd get with him and get it square if Brandon at Allpro can't do it on his alignment equipment. The driveline is symmetrical so something is off or tweaked subframe or unibody wise. Doesn't surprise me when working on jack stands with an older car.
How can the frame just magically tweak? It was fine before the rear wrx subframe went in and all bolts lined up to the body
wouldn't other body parts be misaligned if that were the case? everything else is still in tact. thinking I need to get adjustable lateral links
That's defiantly odd. The only thing I can think of is either the subframe is messed up or you have different size lateral links. I know the STI lateral links push out the wheels on a GC about 10mm out. I've never had real experience with this because I'm still running the GC rear subframe.
That is probably the only part of the suspension I haven't tried removing to refit. I'll pull the lateral links on that side and see what it does.
depends, could have all been tweaked, then you loosened everything up, and instead of bolting the stock stuff back up you put another rear end up. i bet if you put the stock stuff back in, you'd have the same result. and if you did, Breel and I are right, its the subframe. and other body parts might not necessarily be tweaked, if they were repaired at some point......
Do you have coilovers on the car? Are they both set to the same height. If one was dropping further it could swing further out.
That was actually something I thought about. I havent set the car on the ground since installing the coilovers and didnt adjust the height yet. It was poking out when I had the car trailered from Dallas to Kennesaw on stock shocks. I'll check height
Did you try adjusting both lateral links there should be an eccentric washer you can turn to adjust the camber if I recall correctly.
got to watch out for those crazy washers... I wouldn't think that alone would cause it to be out an inch on one side? or would it? I don't know
accessive (comparative more accessive, superlative most accessive) 1. Common misspelling of excessive.
Nope moved on to wiring it myself. I'm assuming its just an alignment issue and willl let Allpro take a look when the car is running
been slammed bro, sorry for not getting back sooner. If you didn't change your # so frequently I would have called you. We had the exact same issue with the race car. Adjusting the lat links will only make your axle pop out and trust me it sucks popping back in on the street with no tools. We never found the issue BUT Allpro did find that we used the wrong rear subframe bolts. Not sure it that solved it because both of my scoobs are still over there. I am certain that the crew at AllPro can solve ANYTHING so just bring it by there when you can. They'll fix you up and you know this!
So much for composition and capitalization. That being said, pedant, is not what you come across, at least, not to me.
