Pics and Videos / Video, FD fender repaint using Spray cans...
« on: February 25, 2020, 12:02:51 PM »
Had my FD fender primed for almost a year, decided to get to work finally painting. I put this together the past few days, was a lot of fun to make.

Pictures work well but yes, the crescent metal piece is welded to the eccentric plate on the end of the adjustment bolt with Justin's newer frame.

Driver's side front and rear bolts,

The FD always came with eccentric bolts. The older subframe from Justin used the stock bolts as-is for adjustment. The newer frame requires you weld on the crescent moon looking pieces of metal that increases the amount you can adjust the lower c-arm.

ok, thank you for clarifying! I'm new to the chassis, none of my friends have had FDs so I'm just learning as I go.

So it's something that could be adjusted but if not the welded type would loosen up? I think when I spoke to someone at Samberg I told them I would call them back when I'm underneath the car to get a better picture of what they were talking about, I think that the best course of action here. Thanks for the help

Suspension/Brakes/Wheels / Alignment on an older Samberg subframe....
« on: November 29, 2015, 11:46:24 PM »
I bought my car with a Samberg subframe already installed, I basically bought someone else's unfinished project and learning as I went re-building it. I spoke with someone at Samberg a little while ago about my subframe. It seems it's an older version, it has these eccentric bolts but they aren't welded, as I was told the newer subframes have welded ones? I'm just a little unclear about which bolt does what adjustment (camber and caster I assume), hopefully someone here can learn me. My FD is being built mostly for weekend drifting nonsense, I'd love to increase the caster as well as have more camber adjustment than just whatever I get from lowering the car, which is what I was told is the only way to adjust camber on FDs.


edit, I've read through a few threads about the welded eccentric bolts, but it seems everyone was already knowledgeable about exactly how it all worked, I just need someone to clear up what bolt does what, if it needs to be set and welded or could I adjust it, etc....

 Thanks.
