what about fitting caster corection bushes as the hole is offset from the center and and fit them so the holes are right at the front of the arm instead of at the top and bottom how much do think that would move to forward or make the arms longer get it refabed strong

Is there enough room in trailing arm "forks" to do that before the axle housing hits on the front side of them? (If that makes any sense... :laugh:)

Nothing will change. He needs to create more space and the only way is to cut some steel

Thats what I thought Panosd was referring to as well, but lots of the greek guys have actually moved the mounting points on the chassis by 3cm, which I think will be more straight forward. Just cut it off with a slim cutting disc, move it 3cm forward then reweld it on the chassis leg again?

What do you think.

Also I think this action will affect the castor cos you are effectively rotating the axleback over are you not?
