caster/camber plates used with a strut tower brace

jtl · 02-10-2002, 01:39 PM

I just bought an 89 lx. The previous owner installed castor/camber plates and a strut tower brace. The car is due for an alignment and it looks like the plates won't be adjustable because the strut tower brace is too close. Do I need a spacific brace to use with the plates? Should I maybe take the adjustable plates out? how beneficial are they? The car is not lowered but it does have koni yellow struts. Also, there is a lot of play coming from the rear axle splines inside the diff. I'm planning on replacing the axles alone. Is it likely that the corresponding splines in the diff are worn as well? Thanks for any help.

You should be able to adjust _some_ with the STB in place. Only "radical" alignment settings might not be possible.
If you got'em, keep using them.
