I'm having a problem on a certain 87 RX that has a 5 lug swap. Car has 04 STi knuckles, with a 97 Impreza L axle on Passenger side and a XT6 axle on the Driver.

 

The problem I'm running into is that I can't get any neg camber the pass. side. The axle seems to be bottoming out before I get it where I want it. On the driver side, I do not have this problem.

 

When the PO tried this same thing, he ran into the same problem. I ask you guys who have done this before, what do you think the problem could be? If you could also list what knuckles/axles you are running I would appreciate it.

what struts?

 

GD ('02-'07) impreza sedans have a wider track, so the struts are slightly different. using those struts on other subarus will make camber adjustment difficult.

 

 

I had no problem with axles bottoming out on my wagon. setup was '92 fwd legacy axles, struts, and knuckles. XT6 control arms. RX trans.

 

 

the XT6 shaft is definitely shorter than EJ ones though. so axle interference fits with your symptoms.

I'm running XT6 control arms, '96 AWD Impreza wagon struts, knuckles, brakes and axles on my RX. I've got -1.6 degrees of negative camber in the front with 0 toe.

The struts are actually D2 coilovers, made for I believe a GD sedan. I'm thinking that could be the problem...
