Last spring I noticed that the camber was way negative so I disassembled it and found that the inner bushings on both sides were completely worn through. I had installed them about 10 years ago with Goodparts adjustable trailing arm brackets. I replaced the bushings and went back to the stock brackets. The camber is improved, but this winter I’m going to replace the rear springs and spacers and if that doesn’t bring the camber into spec I’ll mess with the tailing arm brackets. If you’re interested I’ll give you the Goodparts trailing arm brackets. I suspect that it may have been crappy bushings that were the problem and that the brackets are fine. They do make making camber adjustments easy.<br class=""><div class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class=""> </span>Beat,</div><div class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class=""> </span>Bob</div><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Sep 8, 2021, at 8:46 AM, Bob Lang <<a href="mailto:robert.lang.tr6@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="">robert.lang.tr6@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class=""><div class=""><div dir="auto" class="">Sure looks like the wiring cover that fits under the steering column. </div><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Sep 7, 2021, 5:22 PM Rochlin Robert <<a href="mailto:rrochlin@comcast.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="">rrochlin@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class=""> </span>I’ve had this in my Triumph parts box for about 20 years and can’t figure out where it is used. <div class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class=""> </span>Thanks.</div><div class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class=""> </span>Bob</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;" class=""> </span><img id="m_206081868241327331m_-89251159933011903B2C2E415-5934-4A1F-AFCB-BA2A19777B5B" class=""></div></div>_______________________________________________<br class="">Support<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://team.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="">Team.Net</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br class="">Suggested annual donation $12.96<br class="">Archive:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.team.net/archive" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><a href="mailto:6pack@autox.team.net" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">6pack@autox.team.net</a><br class=""><a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/6pack" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/6pack</a><br class=""><br class="">Unsubscribe/Manage:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/6pack/robert.lang.tr6@gmail.com" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/6pack/robert.lang.tr6@gmail.com</a><br class=""><br class=""></blockquote></div><span id="m_206081868241327331cid:17bc56f24eafb9725791" class=""><1D4C969D-6E74-4129-9CBD-3C3B60B805B5.jpeg></span><span id="m_206081868241327331cid:%3C%3E" class=""><1D4C969D-6E74-4129-9CBD-3C3B60B805B5.jpeg></span></div></blockquote></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
