subaruloverbrad Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 I have 32 11.50 tsl sx swampers on my 1981 ea81 subaru. I have a 6 inch custom lift. I have figgured out how to adjust the wheelbase, to keep tires from rubbing cab/doors. I have had it set up this way for a while (about one year) ok here goes. If you take the radius rod off, trim the outer part of the bushing on back side of the bracket towards the rear of the car, not the front one ( leave the part of the bushing that sits against the bracket) . Then you will have space to move the radius rod back and fourth inside bracket. then you can use large (i think 5/8) washers to push the front wheel forward a little. It will need to be re-alined after wards. youll see what i mean. only tighten rod at the bushing side enough to take out slack. Also if you do this, double nut the radius rod for saftey. I have drove with this mod for over 11000 miles so far, and had no problems, I have cheched them a couple of times in between and found no abnormal wear. any questions?

subaruloverbrad Posted April 9, 2004 Author Share Posted April 9, 2004 said file was to large, here is it sort-of they are both trimmed, the washer is the shiny part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenaissanceMan Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 arent you totaly messing up your caster by doing that? and doesnt that also put a strain on the inner control arm bushing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruloverbrad Posted April 9, 2004 Author Share Posted April 9, 2004 well maybe, but for about 10k miles i havent had any problems. at one time i had about 5 washers in there with my other wheels that were offset more up to a couple of months ago. i am not saying that everyone has to do it, it is just something i have done. just wanted to show it to others that may have a problem with their tires barely rubbing their body.
