ta22 pigrooting??

[lilcrash]

my car is a bit of a jumper, it doesnt like to go straight, it likes to bounce sideways on the road, recently i read an article in a magazine about the evo9 and aparently when it gets lowered it does the same thing my car does, they just put in diffrent angle ball joints to fix it.

is there a diffrent angle ball joint for the ta22??

anyone else had to fix this problem?

Bump Steer - google search.

Yes, lowering cars completely ruins the steering and suspension geometry.

RCA's are used on cars like TA22s.

as screamn sleeka sed... RCAs will fix your bumpsteer. Otherwise you can use your hectik drivn skillz and put up with it like most people do.

Like bannanabender said...

Triple T (above link) have ones which give massif -tve camber for race use... not real good for road. Remember that AE86 items fit pre-RA60 celicas.

[lilcrash]

so if i buy rcas for an ae86 it should fix my problem?

[skiddz]

nope

t3 have ones for the celica

[o_man_ra23]

yeah, but spoontah struts have the same bolt pattern as the celicas... so they are re-labelling the same product. Toyota did this with many things so they could charge you double for the same ball joint if you bought it for a celica as to if you bought it for a corona/corolla.

really? thats a bit ghey innit

so the t3 rca's have massif neg camber?

lilcrash: you may just need a wheel alignment?

my ra40 has lots of toe-out (bent steering arm maybe?) and it pulls left to right (and vice versa) violently. people think im drink driving it looks that bad.

basically, both wheels are fighting for grip. go over a small bump on one wheel and the other wheel will steal traction and point you in a different direction.

how are your tires wearing? excessive wear on the inside?

[skiddz]

nah i dont have rca's so i fight the car a bit, although it wasnt bad when i last drove it, (fuck knows when that was) didnt pull either side just a bitch in and out of corners and from memory i have 1 degree neg camber

[o_man_ra23]

You can buy the T3s in standard or race versions.

Brett, my RA40 does something similar... and Kmart was the last place to align it... so where do you think my problems stem from

You a seppo?? spell it like an aussie ya retard!! its TYRES, no i!!!

[lilcrash]

ive had 3 wheel alignments, my passenger tyre is almost bald the drivers side not so bald but still wearing.

[o_man_ra23]

Many roundabouts in Ipswich?? Cause that will cause premature wear on the passenger tyre... esp on the outside. Either that or the Castor for your left side is horrible... you can adjust them independantly.

Cheers, Owen

adjustable panhard rod might also make some difference. depends how much its lowered.

[lilcrash]

it is lowered far enough that stock tyres wont fit, ive got 185/50 r14 atm on the front.

but yer i do tend to slide a bit towards the passenger side, as most ppl do because the driver isnt on that side, thus drives alot harder to that side.

have many ppl had this problem and then bought the rca of t3, did it fix the problem, do they refund if it doesnt fix the problem? is there any advantage to having the rcas??
