Rear Indy Camber nut
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me the size and pitch of the nut that holds the camber adjuster on? It's a bigun with an outside diameter of 30mm
Thanks!

Probably M20 then.

Is the wishbone threaded? If it is then it's just a locknut, not really needed as the adjuster can't come undone unless the bolt that
holds it to the upright is taken out.
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

The rear needs the lock nut, and wire locking is a good idea. The thread is very course and it is not captive..

Hi
As above it is needed as you would have some serious play in the camber adjustment. And the MK fix of using two nuts doesn't work either. It
really needs the thread in the wishbone and the end bush unit replacing with a much finer thread. That would give a pitch that would allow them to be
locked and also a finer adjustment of the camber settings.

mine haven't come loose, though they were done up with a breaker bar
i don't see how you could ask for much finer adjustment than a clearance thread and locknuts, agricultural as it is.
m20 sounds about right off the top of my head but a call to MK should clear it up. they may even bung you one in the post.

So the wishbone isn't threaded then, so obviously will need locking. Some designs the wishbone is threaded.

Hi
On the Indy the wishbone is not threaded. It just has a lock nut either side of the wishbone. Which is a monumental cock up in design whilst using a
coarse thread.
The best and possibly easiest way to correct is to have a threaded insert made and weld that into the plain tube and then re make the end unit with a
finer thread something like 1/2" unf. But that will still need a lock nut as there will still be play in the tread it can not be left lose
without being locked.

Yep the wishbone isn't threaded. I've lost one of the double nuts, the whole lot started to unwind and I nearly lost a lot more on the
track on saturday! I think the two nut idea isn't a bad one but i think I will replace the outer to be a nyloc one and possible wirelock as
well.

Hi
If going the nylock nut root. You will have to do the inner and outer. Although the inner ( Think that's what you meant ) will stop the thread
coming out all together. You will still have the outer nut coming lose. Think you have to have the outer nylock thinned down to enable the correct
adjustment of camber to be set up but that will depend on the nut dimensions.
Cheers Matt

Good point on using lock nuts on both sides. I shall look into it.

dont think you will fit a nyloc both sides you need to use the thin half nut on the outer side nearest to the wheel to get the desired camber ( 3
degrees for me as the camber starts going to positive on bump) and just buy an m20 nyloc from your local nut an bolt man , adjust the camber with the
thin nut and lock it off nice and tight with the nyloc job done
oh my nut fell of coming back from SVA
eerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
