natetru Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I have a 97 legacy gt wagon. I have the front half of a 4 inch sjr lift. I can not at this time afford to purchase the rear half. but I have access to all the equipment needed to fab the rear myself. my question is do you have to adjust angle of the REAR STRUT MOUNTS like the angle of the front strut lift mounts are, or are they just straight(square). thank you all for the info in advance.

Gloyale Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Yes they need to be angled or you will have bad camber. Can't make them too steep though......not at over 4" since it will hit the body. I make them at 10 Degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natetru Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 thanks, would it be equivelent to the angle that the fronts are angled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natetru Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Or is it "best" to save until I can purchase the rear set from sjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natetru Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 @gloyale the 10* you add into a 4 inch lift, is that 10 towards front,rear,inboard or outboard. i appreciate your help a ton. so, if i call the top of the mount 0* which direction should the angle go? thanks again, nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 It would be 10* for the top in towards the middle of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natetru Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 awesome. 10 degrees from top angled towards the front of the vehicle remaining parallel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The top of the strut needs to be angled in towards the center of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natetru Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 OK, center of the car, meaning towards the opposite side....not the center as in between front/rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
