Thanks Carlos. Can you explain it a bit more. I am having trouble picturing that.

the eccentric adjuster is oblong in shape... like a pill shape. if the eccentric is rotated so that it's long axis is parallel with the vertical axis, then one can consider it "locked" and it is at this position the eccentric will least likely move. one more thing, when in the vertical position, the adjuster hex head should be closest to the ground.

HTML Code:
when you get toe out on a 911 during a hard turn.... you better pray fast.
How do you feel that it was a change of geometry (toe out ) and not a "normal" start of a spin ?

I am asking this because , tracking at least on a monthly basis, and this last 12 months perhaps 14 days, I have done 2 alignments of my car and everything was under reasonable limits when measured. I - occasionally - spin, but It happens in a predictable ( ) way. ( Not so predictable if it ends as a spin...).

Why do you ask when the 996 Cup links work perfectly well ?

Hey all, quick note here, we at TRG intentionally opt not to not use locking plates so we can turn the eccentric upward and correct for some bump steer on lower cars on the inboard side at the subframe.

In most situations you may re-use the eccentric bolt, sometimes they will require replacement, depends on their history.

We run this config on all our house and customer cars, never a problem.

We have each component available individually in case of damage or loss.

Remember to have your alignment expert apply some anti seize compound every time you have them adjusted, it will keep the threads from corroding.

Thanks for the kind words and support! Wish us luck tomorrow!

I don't know the TRG or Tarett parts; but I have the ERP links, which are works of art.

give mike at AWE a call if looking for erp parts. personally I have sourced some erp and some tarett components. depending on which parts in particular. Mike has provided all the hard to get parts for me from ERP with great service and pricing. give him a shout at mike@awe-tuning.com
