Hey, that's not a bad idea!!!! I always left the trick with the rotary cam until last, but to do it for the droop seems like a much better idea!!!

I did try rotating the cam through about 120 degrees in about 4 different steps and it didn't seem to make any difference. But I think you are on to something here and I will try starting with no sway bar and then working the cam again to see what I find.
Thanks

The rotary cam thingy is there for a purpose ! It levels the sway bar tension after the sway bar is installed. Just like you would need to readjust the lengths of the rear sway bar connector rods after you find a tweak when you put back the rear sway bar...

I always have tweaked my car first with the sway bars disconnected, then reconnected the back and adjusted the rod length it until the tweak was ok once more, then the same with the front, adjusting the cam to the required amount.

Ummm, that reminds me... I need to renew the license for this nitro dirt Photoshop filter that I'm currently using ! Can I get a 1 year waiver for this, Mark?

Do all your suspension parts move freely, i.e. detach the shocks and sway bars, raise the suspension arms and see if they fall onto the drop stops under their own weight.
Cheers, Mark.

Mine is spot on on the tweak station and when you do the center chassis lifting. Of course, you need to use new tires or tires with similar diameter. I overlooked this one of those times and what a bummer ! I did everything like checking the shock rebounds, shocks lengths only to find out that I used worned out tires !

Actually I start of by just looking at the front or the back by placing a hudy block under the other end of the car. Once the front and back are balanced, I take away the hudy block and then check the tweak again (front and rear).

Mark, you will find that assembling the 710 is completely a different experience from assembling the 705 ! I think it's like assembling the Surikarn ! Every part fits without modification and free moving.
