am i right in saying that if the suspension is standard the wheels should sit central in the arch(front to back) as my rear wheels sit nearer the rear bumper almost as if it has been lowered or is it possible that something is worn?? thanks in advance guys. couldnt find a similar question when i searched ________________________________________ 1997 blaze GTI-6 bought january '11 £800 Spend to date on parts £827.88 |

Not necessarily, the only bit that stays constant is the rear beam location - as the trailing arms essentially swing off that the wheels will move backwards the lower the car.This could be because it's lowered, got lots of stuff in the boot or just isn't on a flat surface. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Precisely that, the radius swept by the trailing arms will move the wheels further back in the arch when the suspension is loaded.________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |
