1958 SWB C4 Fleetside - NZ Build

[QBRacing]

I knew the rear toe and camber was bad but thought I could dial it out.... how wrong was I

With the C4 Corvette rear end when installed and at the ride height I wanted I had about 5 degrees rear camber once installed. I used the C4 rear camber adjustment but could only get it down to 3 degrees.

In NZ our modified vehicle rules state you can run 0.5 degrees more than factory or a max of 1.5 degrees. Oops. Guess I will need some adjustable rear arms to dial that out.

Also I noticed that the rear tie rod arm has bottomed out on the chassis and bent it to hell. Lucky it didn't break I guess. Anyways I have ordered the Flatout toe kit to fix this and recommend if you want to stay low that this is a must as the only other way to fix both issues is to raise the rear about 50mm and run some serious rake

VIDEO HERE which may explain it better.

Seems kind of silly. What's the point of the rule/law?

might be like the USA, some states have the same law because of the onikyan cars that are popping up. the tire shop i visit has a pile of ruined low profile tires from the 15 degree camber imports.

Well the rear end is now fully reassembled again and ready to be dropped on the rear wheels.

THIS VIDEO shows my newly made adjustable rear control arms and my newly bought Flatout Engineering rear adjustable toe kit.

The video doesn't show it installed but the final picture does.

Looks so good
