Hi guys,

Just thought I would post some info on the front suspension changes made to my Ts V6

Before I purchased the car 4 years back previous owner had taken it into Pedder and had OEM replacement struts fitted with adjustable trailing arm bushes. Nothing special about the struts they do the job and that,s about all.
I fitted camber bolts to the front struts just after I bought the car and combined with the adjustable bushes I find the tyre wear to be perfectly even on the front and steering turn in fantastic.
That's based on running just under 1 degree negative camber and maximum castor.
Can highly recommend these mods to anybody who want to sharpen up handling of their Magna.

By the by i run 16 x 7 Soarer alloys shod with 225 50 16 Nexen CP641 and they arn't a bad tyre made by Kumho, cheap as $120 fitted last time.

Cheers
Majordad

They replace the top strut bolt that attaches the strut to Suspensionl/hub unit. I paid around $60 from Super Cheap Auto. Best to get them fitted by Wheel alignment crowd though to get the correct adjutment that should not cost more than $55-65 including wheel alignment and fitting Majordad
