FL5 Front Camber (Strut Pin Removal)

Wunderladen Front Strut Locks Link

What are your thoughts about this product from Wunderland Racing? I like the idea that it provides some insurance from the bolts sliding around a bit after a bump (ie rumble strips/curbing on a track), but is that even a possibility with the correct torque applied?

I've never seen strut tops slide when torqued to spec, by the time something of such high force would shift the strut top out of position I'd say you've done damage to other components so having it shift might've saved something else from breaking.

OK, I just confirmed that my front wheels are towed in 1/16 of an inch after removing the pins. I’m not sure what the OEM spec was but it’s very little.

OEM can be quite varied. I've seen anywhere between -2mm to +1mm. I recommend 0 to +1mm for tyre longevity

Many thanks for the help! Worked great!

I taped quarter - increments. I believe I'm close to zero and will also try another quarter turn for slight toe out.

Have you noticed much better performance with zero toe vs toe out?

If I had to get a track alignment on the stock suspension with the pins out, what are the exact settings you would recommend for all 4 wheels?

Would it help? or just Toe at zero or positive is all I need?

Went for some extensive road testing, and the Toe out on the stock suspension with the pins out, is truly amazing.

It doesn't tram line, it drives straight, while being more willing to turn in easier, and feels much lighter in the hands.

I did a full half turn of the tie rods on both sides.

I'll be testing it on Laguna Seca tomorrow.

Highly recommend!

Checking in on updates for cars putting in hard duty with pins removed.

Planning to do mine soon sometime after dropping off for steering recall
