Ep82gi Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 As above has any one made a set of adjustable lower arms for starlets yet? Would be interesting. Liam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Adjustable in what sense? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep82gi Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Well Basically I just want to move the positions on the bottom ball joint 1-2" either way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Ah I see. You'll be best off speaking to someone called "Azerty", not sure he's on here but you'll find him on TGTT. He sprints in his Starlet in Malta I believe, he was after the same thing as he wanted to widen the track width of the chassis. I don't know how far he got into researching into it, or figuring something out but he will be the man with the most experience about this situation. Other than that it would be to make up custom wishbones. Not tricky but it will mess with pretty much all of the geometry such as castor, kingpin etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Couldnt you just get a plate and drill a few holes in it to bolt to the wishbone then another 3 to bolt the balljoint to? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep82gi Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Couldnt you just get a plate and drill a few holes in it to bolt to the wishbone then another 3 to bolt the balljoint to?That's insane. But yeah I've tried this before but it's one of them things that sits at the back of your mind allways hard cornering all you can think is will it bend. Dose make it look smart though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yeah its not ideal but at the end of the day without getting longer wishbones thats all youre really doing. Whether its with an extended balljoint bracket or some fancy cnc machined extention plate thats all its really going to be. Just make it out of some damn thick plate lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just make it out of some damn thick plate lol Aren't the joints on the EP91 bolted onto the wishbone anyway? If my memory images serve me correct lol. Could just be a case of using a ball joint as a template to get the bolt holes then extending. It's not something I would probably recommend doing though as it's likely to lead to all sorts of other suspension geometry problems.

5e colin Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 what you goin to use for shafts ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep82gi Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'll cross that bridge when I get to it lol hopefully there will be enough play in a standard shaft to get half a degree or so Quote Link to post Share on other sites
