Exess toe out with 944 alloy arms

[Steve C]

Hi

Thanks for everyones thoughts.

I have been thinking about ways to overcome this issue.

I fitted alloy arms for a number of reasons, I've moved my motor forward 100 mm, using alloy arms I have to use longer axles, this cuts down the CV angle.

Marco on Shoptalk has come up with some adjustable inner pivot bushes to overcome excessive camber on lowered cars, I think I could use this idea but instead of gaining camber I could use them to move the pivot point for more toe in.

The other idea was to take a bit of the alloy arm on the inside pivot and shorten the urethane bush as well, this would turn the pivots inwards giving more toe in.

Its hard to photograph the problem, you can get an idea hopefully. I have attached 2 of Marcos photos from Shoptalk

one inch equals 25.44mm, which is to say 100mm a little short of 4 inches forward. wow have you completed this part of your project yet? The reason for my inquiry is due to having 3 Super Beetles. I've been toying with the ideal of using a SVX Subaru engine in one of the three. I believe the four inches will allow me to have everything under to hood. I have the core SVX engine and the adapter plate. I may even connect it to a automatic transmission. Would you please keep me posted as to your updates. At present I have just had shoulder surgery and can't do any lifting of the adapter plate to the trans axle.
