So you spacered the axle behind the hub? I'm not sure I see enough benefit potential to accept that. The axle problems I've had are from extreme angles, not length.
ive been seeing wobble around that area too..I have quite a few things on my to-do list to remedy it but new axles is one of them (thinking they may be bad cheapos). Also need new tires and a few small things.

Are you lifted? Because I have new axles and new bearings and new tires and stilllllll have a very bad wobble, like shakes the whole entire wagon. unsure of what it is...my only guess is axle angle.

Yes I am (build link in my sig). Im really hoping its just a bad axle or something simple like that...
I had figured it was axle related, but i just was unsure. I never really mob on the highway so i only get it when i really get into the throttle. Its getting to be that time when i start driving Jane on the reg so i'm not going to mess much with it. Maybe if i get some time i'll look into ordering some new axles in the front and see what happens....oh when i rip one out again haha.

Did you get the toe links figured out?
Bam you know me i try anything to keep Scrappy rollin... as for toe link i found a nut but need more threads i was told

I have no wobbles and I think my suspension is stretched farther than yours.. I would definitely look at those axles..
Did you ever get you spare wheel from me?
no i didnt get my Spare tire from you yet ....
i have random vibration ..... my thought it could be axle or my front accord fork seems wide around the front control arm

it was a hassle for me to get autozone replacements but i dont really do any harsh throttling .... Scrappy isnt for speed .....
but i know Goldie is a beast...!!!
debating :
1. find them rear adjustable threaded lca
2. see if more threads could get welded on current adjusters
just want alignment as close to ZERO as possible:hopelessness:
Let's address your main issue: if that toe adjustment is that far out, we need to look for another (root) cause. What do your RTA pivot bushings look like? Can't recall if they were already replaced. There has to be some other variable in play here.

yes sir lots of catching up over here ...
the rear trailing arms both got sand blasted and painted then all new hardware right before being dropped off @ Import Alliance August 2012
well the rear trailing bushing is energy suspension
here is the only picture i located But let me know if u want me to go get a quick current picture now....:encouragement:
Bam could that bushing be in backwards..??? to push the alignment off this much..??
so i hope this print out helps
ok so im headed to try and get the rear disc brakes put back in Odie ....
i will check back soon ...
i want to get both my pups rolling correctly ...:disturbed:
I am seein' that it's in a degree on the LR tire, does that equal 1"?
Isn't this the same side/ corner that the camber link fell off of a few months back?

im clueless on the degree ... ( but the tech mentioned if threads was longer he could get Scrappy closer to ZERO)
and yes the drivers side is the toe link that unthreaded on the way home from Import Alliance ...
im open for suggestions ....
i can go take a current picture of each side if needed guys ..
I don't think the ES bushings can go backward, no.
Is the inboard end of that toe adjuster slid all the way to the end of its slot? I don't have the adjustable links on mine, and I couldn't get my rear toe-in set neutral unless I added a degree of positive camber.

i took some pictures and hope it helps answer your question....
i went to a new local store and was wondering if these could work
ok gents i ran to the store n Scrappy and sat behind a school bus ......
rolled back a few feet on a hill and the left rear end was pop, pop, popping a few times as it rolled back .....
also it was a little squirrely in the rear @ higher speeds ....

What I was telling you here is move the camber to allow more toe adjustment.
in other words, move the rear of the arm in a bit instead of trying to get the front of the arm further out.
ok gang so im still stuck on the drivers side rear not aligning .... i need to swap some parts or drive Scrappy 5,000miles to get realignment ....
QUESTION
would you think my BLOX LCA could be the problem..????
maybe a stock set and alignment would be good to go..??
im also thinking about sticking the front coils off my first generation Odyssey on the rear of Scrappy to try and fix the squat ....

Quality input to this thread, thank you.

bad news
the drivers rear is adjusted all the way out and i was told it needs an inch more ....
i have blox toe & camber adjusters....
the big question is who makes the longest ...? Bam you know me i try anything to keep Scrappy rollin... as for toe link i found a nut but need more threads i was told
no i didnt get my Spare tire from you yet ....
i have random vibration ..... my thought it could be axle or my front accord fork seems wide around the front control arm is this a good or bad..???
where in Florida do you stay ..?

i will call and see if i can take Scrappy back to Firestone and ask the tech to do what your saying.....
i can't wait to get the Super Swampers on .......
progress is kinda at a stand still ....

what part is not aligning?
So I'm trying out photo bucket ... Cardomain sucks
