But then you would catch out everybody by the 10mm gap between the tyre and the wheel arch that exists because of the camber would vanish and you would be tubbing the arches too.. . Or at least taking a big hammer to them when the owner finally goes away and stops yakking about getting stuck in the river at Dubfreeze.. Half this story is true.
I disagree with the tyre fit thing. But thinking again it wouldn't be a good idea to move that pivot point from it's vertical position which is about (?) the same level of the torsion bar.
Might be worth getting the tracking done . Most modern laser aligners have a setting for the vans , just get the operator to look for ` VW Transporter 68 - 79 ` on their drop down menu . Fronts only , don`t let `em even look at the rears
yep sounds about right. IIRC Graham at midlandearlybay has done this on his high top early. I’d like to get this done on mine at some point
On an early, officially it's 28 psi front, 36 psi back for 3/4 load. Add 3 psi for high speed journeys. But I don't believe that it takes into account Westy furniture and our modern tyres. My Hankook 185 R14C tyres always looked bulged at this inflation, so I added 10psi to each tyre and it looks better. Plan to replace them with better quality 195s soon.
Interesting, my 73 (presumably for 185 R14C)... Always ran mine at 30/45 full or empty, just feels right but mines not lowered and running 195 65 15 XL's.
