I can tell you what they ARE doing: loosening the three bolts on the outer swing arm to make adjustments. These three bolts are set from factory or the dealer as part of the final inspection and are deemed “unadjustable”. You need a shop that can look at toe, camber and castor as one setting - those three bolts do all of that for the rear end - it all depends on how they move the hub part of the swing arm in relation to the front section of the swing arm with the three bolts. Tiny movement/changes at the two halves of the outer swing arm make big changes at the top, bottom, front and rear of the tyre. It’s not an easy adjustment to get right - and access to those bolts is limited. Cheers Bennie

The bolts are in a larger hole and the thickness of the bolt thread. So the hub can effectively move closer to, or away from the swing arm mount a few mm. And by raising the bolts relative to their holes, it twists/rotated the hub face so the tyre can have loads of positive or negative camber. I hope this helps Jono! Cheers Bennie

got back there and done all that till end how VDC does when going over ruts changing them when 2 wheels in air

new style front cv axles , different cv and inside stuff too, think mine is bad and i will change it as i got vibrations while accelerating in last weeks or so , thats after that subaru club mud trip where i give it more revs and got more water too before that was enjoying sea views

It supose to be snow but ohh well me and some local forester club enjoying some mud in forests me on used snow tires it was ok still My car now so big that normal forester compare to me looking small

so 1.1.2020 , year started great. still no mud no wet or snow, but still great start

more VDC testing on diagonals, its allways moves from any situation maybe not right away but it does move , never stall or anything , and in real life situation i would give it more revs sure not going so slow, this just for test making it as hard as its possible

no more snow , just soft wet sand this time not yet, not with those tires, not without hi lift recovery ability

fuel usage for first 33km just in city terrible mileage and after some trip between citys where its very economical engine with that 5 speed auto. so in average it comes good. and LPG cost half petrol price . and if i would take some grand sherokee same year with 3.0 diesel engine 160kw and all lockers , it would be nice to drive im sure but i would pay for my travels twice as much , and i couldnt afford then drive so much i think. for now this car is just great on me. im learning it , i like it a lot. and i know it besides new to me 3.0 engine i know rest of car pretty well now .
