GTP Control Arm Question

[ryana83]

So I have already purchased the (4) GTP arms and Shonut Install kit for them. I understand where the reducing sleeves go, but I do not understand where the 10 washers I was sent go on the suspension. Can someone please tell me so I can adjust my camber on the back. Pictures would be even better.

Thanks,

Ryan

You recieved 10 washers? I think I remember recieveing 8. On the inboard section of arms, there should be a washer placed on both sides of the arms to fill the gap. I just reused the old ones for the outboard ends. Washer only needs to be on the outer portion for that(side with nut).

I used the 8 washers sent and 4 of the original ones. Use 8 on the H box directly in contact with the arm. At the knuckle I have one washer between the arm and the knuckle. This keeps the arms parallel with each other. I also have a lock washer under each bolt head at the knuckle.

Ryan,

IIRC most of us who installed these arms used to get 8 washers-one for each side of the bushing ends- but ran into fitment problems at the torque box. This was solved by using (or reusing) an extra washer or two to shim them out closer to spec. You may only need 1 extra between the arm and torque box per side or maybe 2. Then again maybe it was late and Josh miscounted.
