It's my inner ball cup that's not letting it go all the way up, when I removed the inner ball cup it goes up as far as my 417.

Without the toe, you need the 50mm axles, otherwise you don't.


BTW, ran the 2012 last night. Im so impressed. I have spent months tuning my other touring cars and this baby was so balanced and locked in that I don't think Im changing the set-up. UNREAL
I know what you mean. Because this is my first Xray I don't know what to expect. Yes for the rear I have only 1.5 shim

Seems to have been a problem since the T3 '10.
if u guys put less shim or more shim into it to make it balance left & right the total toe will be equal but take a look again to the car after adding the shim or not the arm will push more towards nor backwards if u look from above the kit .... still thinking a way to make it equal

I read about this in the Xray forum and therefore check during build. Mine has 3° on both sides. Good for me ;-)

Too much camber with the manual setup. See page 17 in your manual. With 1.5° camber it should not bend.

I've got a T3'11 with all the latest goodies that I'm planning to upgrade to a '12. I know I need chassis/topdeck/shock towers, and maybe the harder knuckles. I'm not quite sure, though, what's changed with the steering. Any guidance on what parts I need to grab to make the '11's steering work on the '12?

Take what you already have, drill a hole in the right servo saver arm and shave off some of the left one.

i wouldnt worry about the shock towers and servo savers. How many times have you had problems with yours in the past?

No problems with this car ever. I thought the shock positions on the new towers were optimized?

yeah, they have one hole lower than you currently can go and they dont have the holes for the old quick camber link adjusters.

If you've never needed to run your shocks lower than the bottom hole, do you really need to get them?

I noticed last night that the steering arms are a different thickness and height than the old one as well. So you wont be able to just buy the right side when you do the conversion. Buy both left and right steering links to keep them the same height/size.

Adam yes get the new shock towers and if you don't want to use the new hard servo saver then you can try a servo horn.
