Shazzer Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Just after some advice, took my 350z to get the tracking done but they couldn’t adjust the rear as the bolts just spin. My mechanic replied with, ‘Sorry no, I believe the sub frame is aluminium which is why the bolts don't adjust very well, I can't weld aluminium with my stuff, the bolts obviously need to rotate in the aluminium part to adjust the geo but the aluminium is very soft so the lugs don't really support the bolt properly’. Just wondering if it’s worth getting new bolts or will I have the same problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Your mechanic may be referring to the flats on the subframe which the adjusting washer pushes against to make the adjustments. The subframe is aluminium and so are the flats and I think that he is saying that the flats have lost there edge so the adjusting snail cam washer is not making good contact when the bolt is turned. Welding can be done to reinstate the edge but it is a specialist repair. The other options are to just fit a good preowned subframe which I have in stock. Or you could replace the adjusting bolts and washers with lock out bolts and washers and then fit adjustable arms which I also have in stock. If you require more clarification on this just drop me a PM. All parts are in stock and good to go same/next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Is it the rear toe or rear camber that you are having the adjustment issues with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shazzer Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Sorry 4 the delay, the toe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 The rear toe adjustment is made by adjusting the rear mid link by the bolt in the subframe. If the edges are off the subframe flats then you have the options as listed above. Some prices for you: 1 x good preowned rear subframe: £75.00 1 x new tow bolt kit (for both sides) £32.00 1 x new lock out bolt kit. £65.00 2 x rear adjustable rear mid links (for toe adjustment) retaining the OEM spring position. £760.00 The replacement subframe and the new toe bolt kit is the way to go. All the above parts are in stock so just drop me a PM if you wish to proceed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
