- Disappointing...no responses...I thought it would create an active thread with all kinds of insight on front end alignment for TR3/4 Cars. Perhaps this information is closely held as a "speed secret

- Hi Joe, and all, Well, for what its worth, I didn't respond since I figured that my autocross alignment settings wouldn't help most of you road racer type folks. However, if anyone's interested, I'll

- Joe, I also sectioned the upper arms(about .250) to achieve about 1.5-2 degrees neg camber. From the seat of the pants, it seems to work well and give reasonably uniform tire wear. Also reasonably un

- I've seen the heim joint upper a-arm modification before, very nice. I thought about doing this on my TR4 but was warned that it was not considered "vintage legal". Perhaps we need a group opinion on

- All in all, for simplicity I would vote for sectioning the upper arms, next choice would be for the Heim Joints (because it looks neat). Heat & Bend makes me a bit nervous. The slots & pin with eccen
