Old clonk/clunk - New trial

[Casar66]

New approach: 

with the new (used) vertical Link came a "funny" trunion, we discussed that in another thread.

Ist that the reason?

A front vertical wheel on a Tr6 is not wrong, a wheel with negative camber is- ideally though both front wheels to be checked correctly need to have even weight applied inside the car- eg 2 passengers then check camber. You can have a small amount of negative camber if you want to use the car on a track - on both wheels obviously.

No, I haven't touched them ( right side). And I guess the right, straight vertical wheel is wrong?!

 

Vertical is correct -  the specification is   0 degrees +/-  1/4 degree. 

It's worth checking that the top trunnion on the other side is fitted correctly as Peter says.  

[Casar66]

ok, thank you guys. I will throw a look to the left side then.

[Casar66]

Well, I had not look deeper at the left side  so far. But instead I drove some miles under the rare german sun. And I have checked again. What can I say? In Germany we use a phrase, direct translation into english says "who measures a lot will measure a handfull of ****". Today both wheels have the same (small negative) camber (checked it with a large waterscale). Approximately 3mm ist the difference from top to the ground. Means, If I move the waterscale 3mm from the upper wheel away it will be straight vertical. On both sides. But the right wheel sticks around 8mm further out than the left. 

Do not unterstand what I have measured yesterday. Perhaps it was because of the intense April heat 🤦

Allow me to translate this German saying different

to transport some of its positive and optimistic vibes to the UK.

The joke is the different meaning of two different words that sound the same.

“wer misst, misst Mist“ —> „who measures, measures cow dung“

That maybe the body not being exactly lined up with the chassis or sometimes replacement wings arent the same.

to get our native english speaker bored:

Marco is not right.  It says "wer VIEL misst misst Mist". Means exactly that what I have translate, just put the stars for another bad word or like AI write:

is a well-known saying (an engineer’s adage) in Germany, which suggests that ill-considered, extensive measuring often leads to incorrect or irrelevant results. Without prior planning, a hypothesis and a correctly calibrated measuring instrument, one often ends up with nothing but junk data (‘rubbish’) rather than useful insights.

Stuart.

Yes, that sounds reasonable. Got a new frame and a wing after a bad crash many years ago

Sorry me, my focus is on the playing with words,

an the issue "Mist" is more gentle - and sayable - than "a handfull of ******"

Well, maybe my time in God's own country has made me see language use a little differently than if I'd just learned standard English at school like you do
