Camber Adjusters?
Dick Axtell - 21/9/12 at 09:05 AM

Hello Locosters.

Have had an early type of camber adjuster integrated into my upper wishbones. Considering making up some new w/bones, and wish to keep the camber adjuster feature.

Has anyone used the Rally Design adjuster? Ref here:- http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=1375_1594_1600_1601&products_id=11837. What material are they made from?

I know of other steel versions available on Ebay; anyone used these? Would really appreciate comments from those who've had road-going experience with these parts.

Those are ally with some pretty nasty stress risers. Do a search on here and you'll find a couple of threads about broken ones. Could have dire consequenses!

There's someone (flakmonkey?) on here thats made very nice steel ones.

Buy the steel ones off ebay, I've had a failure with the aluminium rally design ones, luckily i wasnt going fast. Sooner or later something really nasty is going to happen as a consequence of them.

Thanks very much for the warning. I did search, over the last 6 months, on this topic, and found a similar reference to an adjuster failure. I had suspected that the ally ones were RD's.

GTS supplied the alloy ones as well. In fact RD supplied a lot of the GTS parts.
