Dan did mention there is a few degrees camber built into the spindles. I bought a set of 3" lift link pin spindles from Dans Off Road. Posted: Fri 6:24 pm Post subject: Re: Lift spindles. Heres how mine sits after playing musical shims a few times, I choose to stop vs screwing up the bushings on the spindles. Shim chart is for factory spindles, most aftermarket ones have camber built into them. Posted: Fri 2:28 pm Post subject: Re: Lift spindles. GOFUNDYOURSELF, quit asking everyone to do it for you!Īn air cooled VW will make you a hoarder.ĭo something, anything, to your project every day, and you will eventually complete it. If not, your arms or beam is the culprit.Įverybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW. remove the spindles & take your measurements at the trailing arms, if the measurements are within spec here, your problem is at the spindles. If the specs are way off, you have a problem with one or all of the aftermarket components. If it's too far out, you will start to bind & wallow the link pin bushings as you start to cant the pins in the bushings. The shims are for setting the camber, the "factory" shim numbers are strictly for adjusting the kingpin angle. Posted: Fri 1:57 pm Post subject: Re: Lift spindles. Last edited by gilmarlin on Fri 2:23 pm edited 1 time in total My question is, are the shims just for adjusting gaps and fitting the spindles or are they also for grease control and allowing the spindle bushings / link pins to move smoothly? I'm considering re shimming to adjust the camber and ignoring the factory shim numbers. I have read all the other threads about shimming link pins and was a VW mechanic in a former life.
However, I just mounted my rims to the hubs and the amount of negative camber I have is way more than I wanted. I have Tweed trailing arms and the new spindles bolted up using the correct number of shims no problem. I just rebuilt my beam front end and installed some lift spindles from Latest Rage, I asked around and was told that they were a decent product. Posted: Fri 1:45 pm Post subject: Lift spindles.
