Longer Driveshafts for TL01

[Rockenroll]

Can someone help me as I have a Long arm suspension Kit on my TL01 and I have bought a rear toe in Kit........the problem is when I install the uprights the driveshafts are far too short, what am I doing wrong[!][!]

thanks to anyone who answers

The rear toe in kit is designed to work with the original wishbones only. The long arm kit is a separate set up the toe in uprights are not compatible with. Choice is either the long arm kit or standard arms and the toe in uprights.

The LAS has rear toe-in anyway doesn't it?

[Odd-N]

Yes the LA kit has rear toe in.

How much longer do you need? []

TL01=TA04 dogbones are 39mm... vs

EvoIII=TB02 uses 42mm and the EvoIV=TA05 uses 46mm.

so is it better to go with the LA or just rear toe in?

i would go with the LA arms etc ; they give more options for mounting the bottom of the shocks so you can play about with ride height...

Wow - the thread that spanned time...

(I've blown it now - two posts in one year )

So isn't it possible to use toe in rear uprights from another car? Looking at the uprights, the mounts are pretty narrow. However, I think the toe-in rear uprights from the TA04 will fit if you narrow the lower mount of the upright. And regarding it's strength, opposed to the original, it will be compromised - but the current one is also pretty narrow - so why not give it a try? They only cost a few quid (I can give measurements of the TA04 uprights if you want - I have a non-toe in set here, but apart from that 1 or 2 degree difference, they are actually the same as far as I know)

Thats not what the holes are for, they are for playing with shock angle. When you move the shock positon, you have to reset the ride height back to whatever you were using before using clip-in spacers (or threaded collars on the shocks, depends what you have).

the holes give many options for many things - i was just pointing out one... (& yes, i'm an engineer so i know about rising rates, principles of leverage, stress loadings etc etc etc etc....)

[yamita]

Their primary function is not for ride height settings. Thats like saying, you should use spring stiffness to change ride height, instead of changing spring preload. 'Many options' you speak of are just side effects of changing the shock angle, which should be reset for the new geometry.

i have oils shocks on mine if u turn the shocks will it lower the car?
