Tech article by Superman - Q

Hi Super,
You asked me to post my question I send you by pm here for every-one to read, so I will:
In the 944 (83-85) brakes on the SB, you mention swapping control arms from a later (post 8-73) model to the ealier model SB's.
You don't however mention that the inner mounting positions on the SB sub-frame are at a different position. One is wider spaced than the other. I know the swap will work anyway (seen it), but how does this effect camber ? Will the camber change be adjustable within specs?

Also: when the inner mounting points are shifted, then the location of the sway-bar attachment points in the control arms is also moved, causing possible friction in operation.
I did notice already more friction in the free movement of my stock sway-bar because of my lowering which resulted in a wider position of the swaybar attachment points in the control arms: My control arms are horizontal when the car is stationairy.

Thanks,
Walter
