Can you adjust caster on the innovative crossmember, or would i need a jimfab one?

 

Yes you can, Innovative sells caster plates with the poly inserts.

 

Imagine that.. Had i taken the time to go to their site and look at the poly bushings, I would have seen where they mention the caster adjustment..

 

Could you please post up the address of their web page that shows that!

you need the crossmember, and the bushings right next to it =]

 

I just got the whole kit in the mail last week and i have been trying to figure out what the hell that plate was for. Now i know.

 

Toss up some pics of that plate and how it goes on, if you dont mind. there arent any on thier website =[

 

It's basically the same way only you place the plate on the inside of the mounting point on the crossmember.

I'll snap some pics when i get home toinght.

EDIT: actually, won't be sure what side the plate goes on until i get it together.

 

Thanks! Unfortunatly I never had a chance to checkout my radius rods and such before I left for Iraq, so I have no clue how all that crap bolts up/adjusts, and now I'm curious as hell =]

 

It sounds like the method of adjustment is similar to some control rods I built up for Adam.



If you look closely to the photo, you will notice that there are four washers, just to the right of the bushing compression washers.

The arm was built so that with the four washers, as shown, it's length is the same as stock.

If you remove washers, it would move the wheel forward.

If you add washers, it would move the wheel rear-ward.

Now this is just an assumption, but I think that Innovative had the bushings molded so that they are shorter (when layed down flat). The combined (both front and rear bushing) difference in height over what compressed stock ones would be the thickness of the "shim plate".

Due to there being only one shim plate, you have only two "settings" and neither is "stock".

Of course, all this is an assumption due to their not showing one of the plates.
