so it rained... went out and did a good donut on the way home... yaya sweet fun...

 

i get looking... my offset is off... no actually my rear end has shifted over a bit!... is this bad?

 

do i need to invest in some panhard/lateral bars?

is it lowered?

 

the rear geometry creates a triangle, when u lower it, the panhard, which forms the long side of the triangle pushes the diff further across because there is less angle, it should only be a few mm on the rolla though...

There are a few variables:

 

What did you hit

What part of the car did you hit it with

How hard did you hit it

 

Answer me these questions three... and I shall divulge the knowledge for which you seek

yeah i just slammed it... hmmm... any way of correcting it?

 

uhhh... i didnt hit anything its just that way

what type of rear suspension have you got leaf or coil. sometimes if the brackets holding the diff to the leafs can stretch and diff can move sideways, ive had this problem in my pano.

hey man, nice ke30

 

and yes its ajustable panhard rod time

if its a ke30 sisnt it leaf sprung and doesnt that mean it doesnt have a panhard?

or am i mis-informed?

damn, your right

they have anti-roll bars or lateral bars in them don't they

so how did u know it was a ke30 anyway?

i just assumed it was coil sprung coz all my cars are, but when u said 30 i realised it probably was leaf sprung and i shouldnt be spouting advice as I'm no help at all

search his name in rides section ftw

Ke30 will have leaf springs, meaning if the diff has shifted....something is bent.

 

anti roll bars aka Sway bars, don't have much to do with the positioning of the diff in a KE30, its all mainly in the leaf springs.

 

Because of this you can lower a KE30/55 without having to worry about things going where they shouldnt be. lol

Does it have lowering blocks?? If it does that could be your problem.

looking at the first pic in his rides thread it looks like it was raised in the rear

I'd be looking at your leaf spring shackles, not real hard to bend these.

haha... man i think i will go take a look at it...

 

its got an rx7 turbo rear end... i will look... i just threw the blocks in didnt take much time checking if it was super straight.

 

but yes it is leaf sprung. It might be a good time to beef up the shackles while I'm at it. Thanks guys.

 

btw i will get some updated picks of the car for ya guys.
