    Re: cavalier gsi 4x4

    Looking great mate, where did you get those replacement bearings/rubbers for the prop shaft as I could do with some of them.

    Also what's your rear camber like with those bushes you fitted? I have the powerflex one but there is still stacks of neg camber hence me pulling the 4x4 fuse.

    Cavalier GSI 4x4

    Re: cavalier gsi 4x4

    i had my prop recon'd by a company called bar props up by me buddy

    mines locked and my camber aint that bad now tbh dude, you say you fitted the powerflex bushes? can you move them to set the camber?

    and my bushes can be turned to pull wheels straight or to kick them out for camber etc

    take it yours aint locked if your pulling fuse19 buddy

    heres pic of my camber kit

    see mine hole is off center so you can turn the bush buddy

    Re: cavalier gsi 4x4

    Ain't that bad? does that mean to say there could still be some improvement?

    Yeah I have the powerflex ones but they're not very good at all I think it's just down to the design of the bush as the hole is offset with a stainless sleeve which isn't knurled or anything to stop movement


    I have picked up some used kmac bushes which are pretty much same as your ones but yet to fit, I was going to do the mod on the rear subframe at the same time to improve camber (drill new mounting/pivot) points.
