Sorry! I'm not 100% in yet though...

Might pop down - only for the donuts though.

Black cap = 'plug' for hole to fuel tank, lead is for the fuel level sender. Mine's loose as buggery and keeps falling out, grr.

Wicked - thanks again! Will report back...

Thanking you - so your thinking behind checking them, is that if one has collapsed the whole rear beam will be on the piss, thus giving the dodgy camber readings. I getcha now! Guess I should also check the ride height at each side and the position of the spring platforms relative to each other.

Nice one! Possibly - I guess allen key head would do the job! Torx would be nice though...

Indeed - pretty sure the stub has been changed for an incorrect one in the past, in the process raping the bolts. 2 are fine, 1 is 'ok', but the M8 one is buggered. Trying to hunt a replacement at the mo but proving tricky - time to get bummed by the local Renault stealers methinks!

Got part way through then remembered what a mess one of the stub axle bolts was (not me officer!) - decided to re-assemble and fight it again another non-rainy evening, and order some new bolts... This is what I've got though (yours is a NS then Cupman - sorry for the confusion there): And...

Good tips - thanks dude, I shall have a crack at that. Rear axle bushings, where exactly are these? I did the '180ing the wheels' trick (was listed in the manual for the tracking gauge I have) and they seem to be pretty straight and true, no difference. Thanks - will look into those :)

Aah - no that was from track use. Road wheels have always had even wear :) 4 wheel alignment... I will probably get flamed for this, but I'd rather get it somewhere close first before taking it anywhere (if at all). They will just tell me the rear NS is miles out and charge me £100odd for the...

Yeah, the bits that secure the caliper are definitely left and right, wasn't aware the stub came out though, so will tap it out and check it over, cheers. Hmm, conflicting info then - have read on here (Fred@BTM) that the Cup uses a different stub axle... Whether that is the carrier or the axle...

Now that might explain it! I'll whip the old one off and have a check :) Cheers!

Just had a check - not had chance to get the caliper/disc off yet but I think that one looks like a drivers/OS side, given the position of the axle compared with the caliper mount and also the large (non countersunk) hole being at the bottom rather than the top. Thanks though!

Nearly darling!

Yep, top guys there!

Thanks dude, I'll whip it off asap and let you know :) Last time I had it off (a few months ago to fit camber shims) it was still in one piece, but you never know...

If you want me to pop them in a lathe and reduce the height a bit, just let me know :) I had to make some from scratch when I fitted SuperTs to my car - well, I didn't have to, but I think OZ wanted about £75 a set for alloy ones, pffff!

Cheers dude! Edit: Mong - it's the NS/passenger I need... (not the OS I said before).

True - however I think the one I've got on is actually the wrong one (non-Cup model), there's no way it's bent 2 degrees downwards (towards +ve camber)... I'm in need of the OS/passenger side, if yours fits the bill then more than happy to take it off your hands for £40 :) Cheers!

Was about to suggest those (I have some and rate them) - but think they would wear pretty quick on the road. 6.5mm tread depth from new and soft 'R' compound...

Kin ell, rape! £80 isn't sounding too bad then... Cheers Fred!

Got some quotes from breakers for a replacement stub axle - £80 sound about right?

Right, checked the shim and it IS fitted correctly. So that means the stub axle is either the wrong one for the car, or bent DOWN by 2 degrees? The Torx heads on the bolts on that side were pretty f**ked when I got the car, so is it possible someone has changed the stub axle in the past for the...

Evening all, I bought some camber bolts for my 172 Cup to dial in some negative camber as the car has been eating outsides edges of the front tyres on track (29-30psi with Federal 595 RSR). Before going ahead, I decided to check the geo - however, it wasn't quite what I expected, especially...

No worries Adam ;) A lot of people with similar usernames at the moment, haha!

Looks like a bit of a handful!

As above - I also have some A048s on a car I used mainly (at the moment) on the road. Bit pricier than 888s but seem to have slightly better reviews. Lots of grip in the dry, fine in the wet, not great with standing water though due to low tread depth and not many channels for water clearance...

Pulled mine out, doesn't bother me at all, polyurethane glue wouldn't budge though so it looks a little messy - but I never look up there anyway!
