You guys are acting like the strut see's a 45 degree angle of misalingment.

Camber is a measuring of degree's. Most of you run less than 4 degrees of camber, probably around 2.5 to 3 degree's I'm guessing.

If you look at your strut tower, is the upper strut perch located perfectly horizontal? No. It's already angled to accomodate the angle of the strut.

The 2 races and needle bearings are completely capable of handling the deflection of that 2 or 3 degrees. The needle bearings MAY wear out 2 years down the road, big deal, bearings wear out. They are a $5 part. We have Rally Teams in Barbados, Jamaica, and Luxembourg using this setup for two whole seasons with no problems. I've been running this style setup on my SW20 and AE86 for over 8 years combined, no problems.


Since I got your reply I completely get it; I only asked here because I thought it was a stupid question and I was simply not understanding something.

japlish - I did a mock up and I can't see how the upper hats would grind on the camber tops at all, the hole in the upper hat allows the angle that you need, and having a spacer won't chanage the angle of the upper hat!
