Hmm not sure that meaty101 was referring to this? although could be wrong

 

I thought he had issues with the camber which is caused by being very low. This mod is not going to fix that at all.

 

Also Meaty101 although the rear beam is fixed it can be slightly adjusted when you undo the beam bush screws and number of folks that have replaced the rear beam bushes find that the beam is off to one side and the tyre is closure to the  arch one side. 

 

Funny as i like a bit of camber to front and rear and it handle much better

Ah guss84 no that's not the problem. I've seen those wheel centering plates. Mine isn't low enough for those. I think those are for getting the wheel sitting back in the arch after 50 mm or more lowering. The issue I supposedly have is what bowders said was the back wheels towing in or out. After my scientific test with a plumb line! I discovered the passenger rear towing in by 3mm and the drivers rear by 4mm. I think!

I thought I was right dude.

 

being out by a 1mm is not bad at all buddy.

 

You can get these shims that over both positive and negative depending on which way you fit them( i think)
