| Post subject: | Diff Spacer - Vitara LWB |
Please forgive my total noobness. I have an LWB vitara, lifted around 50mm. I have read lots of posts around lifts, and it would seem a Diff spacer (third arm - or heim spacer as the US seems to call them) is a damn good idea with this sort of lift. Right - so I got one. The one I got is offset, so the top plate is around 20mm offset from the plate that mounts to the diff. I had a play last night, and the only way I could get it to fit, so the ball joint lines up, is if the offset points towards the back of the car. Is this right? Should I be undoing the shock mounts and attempting to 'roll' the diff back and have the offset point towards the front of the car? Does this make sense? Should I ditch the offset spacer and get a 'straight' spacer like B4V list, although they have no stock at the moment? Thanks. |

I've got the offset one from oda offset to the front pretty much bolted straight on just had to slightly push up on the pinion to line it up |

Lifting causes the the diff pinion angle to roll backwards/up. So fit spacer in a way to roll diff pinion forward/down Sounds like you have it right way, in my opinion. But loosening stuff makes them easier to line up |

I think the ODA spacer only goes on one way not 100% sure but someone may be able to confirm that |
