[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] XJS manufacturing defect???
Message text written by INTERNET:Juliansean@aol.com >Anyway, I "fixed" it by putting all shims on the rearward side of both upper ball joints.< Big time "oops"! Don't assume that all your suspension parts are straight and equal just because it's fairly new. What you may have there is a readjustment after someone hitting a kerb. I strongly recommend that you take the car to your friendly neighbourhood tyre pusher and have them measure, *not* adjust, all front wheel angles, then set them to the values in the workshop manual (the tyre seller's listings tend to be wrong). Do the rear camber, too, while you're at it. On my XJC, I found 1 deg negative camber (tops of wheels inside vertical) front and rear to give a tad extra cornering grip without producing abnormal wear. - Jan
