went to jack up the baja the other day and after it was raisesd 1 outer spline it was just too much camber to be safe. i have been told that u can
changed inner and outer splines to get smaller incremements but i was just wondering who runs really positive camber and drives the car on the road
regularly?
who runs limiting straps on the rear of a swinger to limit down travel and prevent tuck.
can u buy them or do u have to make them? where to attach?
whos got pics of a rear bash plate that covers the push rod tubes? i need to make something up but not sure what to do about extending it sideways.
every person on here cant have IRS.
bump
mine's fairly high but i wouldn't want it to be higher i can feel it tucking under enough as is. The highest i've seen was Tim and Dave's bajas when they were swingaxle. scary!
I found when I had my swinger baja that 1 up on the outer and one down on the inner splines was a good compromise - would still tuck a little but not
deadly
Sorry dont have any photos though.
i've shown it b4 and i'll show it again.
my rear bar has a "glide plate" (3mm alli) with some wings (haha) to help keep stuff away from the tubes. it wont stop a boulder or a branch but it
will stop stones, small rocks and sticks ect.
on the swing and tuck issue. even though i dont have much lift or angle i dont really want any more because with the swb, it clambers up/over/around
most stuff without needing the extra height and because even as it is it is real scarey on some corners/roundabouts with the speed i drive at
sometimes but only when its dry. when the road is wet its no probs because the buggy just goes into "controlled" 360s. who else has this
problem??

positive camber is great go round any corner in any condtion and back off the the ass will come out then put the foot back onto it and you have swing axle driffting
hey mud bashing.
u got n e pics of the rear of ur old car?
one word
tim is a mad man and dont ever listen to him EVAEVAEVAEVA
Here's one........:P
And another
lol yeah the camber we got after 1 outer spline was worse than that. glad i didnt run with it.
ill get a pic of the rear of my car to compare
when I had a swinger I made an adjustable camber compensator. It's not too hard to do if you have a later model Baja that has the mounting points in
the body for a factory Z-bar overload spring. I made new linkages for the Z-bar that were threaded and therefore adjustable in length, and set it up
so it stop both wheels extending in travel at the same time (tucking). This worked very well. I could crawl under and quickly loosen it if I thought
it was limiting offroad (which it never was) or tighten it up if I wanted to corner fast.
The other option is to buy a camber compensator. The ones they sell are like a big leaf spring bolted under the gearbox and pressing on the axles.
They work well but aren't very adjustable and will reduce your ground clearance a little.
