adjustable tie bar length
Turbo Mini Forums

I've just changed the bottom arm bushes and have noticed that the tie bars are different lengths, one side has 33mm of the thread showing and the other side has 28mm showing. My bottom arms are 1.5 degree neg camber from minispares.
If someone has the same set-up i'd appreciate if you could measure how much thread you have showing on your tie bars.

forget threadsa showing, are they both the same length, if not make the long one the same length as the other, for starters,

the importand part is having equal castor, and tie rods the same length is a good starting point,

As Carl says a starting point only as Minis are so bent/out of tolerance to start with!

I stand corrected. You should know

does incorrect castor cause excessive tyre wear or is this mainly due to the tracking?
