Lol, just got in before you Yeh, only the toe can be adjusted on the rear end.

But atleast it can be done, looks like I'm gonna get that fixed when I get the power steering put in I think. Just get a full 4 wheel alignment and front camber left alone

Well i went and spoke to them (Bob Jane folk) today and apparently the MA61 specs i.e caster and camber are the same as the MA70. Still not happy though, they should be using the MA61 file not the MA70 file regardless.

One would think the MA70 specs would be the same as the MA70 specs



TSRM says they are different...

They BS'in, from the specs you've got and the specs I've got and what wilbo just posted I'd say very different.

Ah, i should go back down to them with the TSRM specs and complain just to cause a stir and tell them to do their job properly!

Thanks guys, really appreciate it. I wouldn't of thought to look in the TSRM.

just thought id add this, RT142 corona's with power steering have the same rack as RA60/SA63/RA65 according to a wrecker. i rung every single one in the phonebook, only 2 had anything. 1 wanted to sell it with the LCA for 44 pfft. the other wanted to sell just the steering arm for 38.50 pfft. still waiting on a call back from one
so i thought, hmm, RT142 has same rack...wonder about steering arms. went down local wreckers. bingo they have an RT142 with p/s.
looks short, lets see
pulled it out, yep 125, yep fits nicely.
took to front counter.
$5 bucks mate

i was like :O :O :O

this is the same wreckers, different guy. that wanted 40 bucks for the first one and i paid 15.
but, this is like, the worlds best 20 bucks i ever spent on this car, no longer need a 4 lane road to U turn.
getting alignment all done tomorrow. hopefully bob jane can cope with adjustable tops, adjustable coilovers that need setting and get the rest right too
heres hoping

Tell them about all your mods when you go in and specify in detail what you need done and if you require any specific settings or they will stooge ya.

Good stuff too, widens the range of cars that we can pilfer from! Cheers.

Focusing on what's important I like that

when i got my ma61 struts and brakes they sent ga61 ones and sed there were the same.
i have minimal lock on my ae86 and i was wondering if i just search for some ma61 or ga61 p/s arms are they both the same ?

[Negative Boost]

Sorry, are you putting the GA61 struts into your AE86? To give you more lock?

There are differences between the brakes, i think the GA61's are slightly smaller than the MA61 brakes. But as far as i know the PS arms between both models are the same. If you looking for a pair of PS arms, give me a bell becuase i have a couple pairs of MA61 items im getting rid of.

MA61 one p/s arms are ridiculously long.
you need some from the list i mentioned if the base plate on the struts is the same as RA60. which it will be

Lol, shhhhss, i'm trying to flog off my old PS arms dammit

He's right though, you do need the Celica PS arms.

[whatthe?]

Nice pics Sam, really shows where the differences are
