Some new shinies arrived the other day :
Powerflex black series p and roller bushes, I recently sold my roller bearing bushes not wanting to go too extreme on a predominantly road going car so these seemed a good compromise and completes my powerflex product collection for the 306
Recently since fitting the compomotives ive found that the wheels on the rear drivers side seem to be about a mm closer to the arch than the other side, I've had it tracked and everything lines up fine and the beam is still spot on for camber and toe so I'm puzzled.
One theory I keep coming back to is that there must be some factory tolerance range for beam mounting holes on the shell? And since the original beams are rubber mounted this must mean some sort of give in beam position?
I'm wandering if I'm just noticing it now as I've dropped the ride height to the top of the wheels and solid mounted the beam.
Any thoughts?
