86 300E subframe

[M. Hinrichs]

Hello,
History: subframe dropped,conditioned and re-installed.New dampners and chassis pegs are sound. I noticed a real ugly neg camber on the RR.

Findings: after jacking level and subframe ever so lightly touching jack stands (safety measure), I have noticed that by rolling the RR back and forth the LR jackstand wobbles indicating thrust to the LHS of the subframe.
Any clue what nominal travel is suppose to be for subframe?

Additionally if someone could provide alignment specs, I might be able to align this alot closer without my friends at the local shop laughing too hard when I bring it in for the laser.

TIA,

Section 40-0001 of your maintenance CD contains the alignment specs for the whole car.

Thank you for the reference. This is a CD title suggestion I should throw at the kids to get for myself................perhaps fathers day,hmmm.

Tonight it was obvious that back when I was installing the RR , my mind took a vacation and did not make adjustments. The Throwboards say it all, no excuse to get me out of that "oops". (the wife just grinned)

Still scratching my head on the thrust movement however. If Fellow members think of something......let me know. TIA
