Fitting RTAB shortly, Tips please!

[_Nathan_]

I read somewhere that if the square carrier thing on the end of the trailing arm was put back in exactly the same place the rear toe would be the same - it is the carrier that was marked in the guide I read - I guess it would be hard to get it exactly right though so you'd need a geo anyway.

Back to paying a man to do it then!

nigh on impossible plus he want's to use powerflex bushes and not oe and if you use a limiter kit it would change anyway

^ Agreed, marking just doesnt work.

Marking does work, I did it myself!
Perfect geo.
You just need to be careful.

If you mark the plate correctly you can put it back exactly where you removed it from (we have had our's on and off about 10 times and checked geomatry every time and its always been dead on) our limiter kit's do not adjust rear geomatry at all. Cheers Tim (think i may have spelt geomatry wrong)

Marking the carrier and putting it back in the same place should in theory keep the alignment the same. Replacing or changing the bushes, fitting limiter plates etc will most likely change the alignment.

I would certainly advise alignment being checked, it seems such a waste to fit something that will improve the car and then only have half the improvement because the alignment is out. Also alignment is so cheap compared to a set of tyres, its a false economy not to get it atleast checked.

To be honest I'd just get the whole lot done by someone who knows what they are doing or I'd end up with a car that handled like a clown car

I think I agree - and whilst we're on topic I think the single best thing you can do with your CSL is take it to someone who knows how to set them up properly. It can transform the car if it wasn't right in the first place.
