I've traditionally done the diff screw head on the left side (driver's side), but have since switched to the Right side (passenger side) regardless of transmission type (3 gear RM vs 3 gear MM and 4 gear MM). Kdub (Kurt Wenger, former AE designer) had this to say on the matter: I think I count as an authority on the matter. I always run my diff screw on the right side (when sitting "inside" the car). I take off the tire and pull the outer hinge pin to get to the adjustment screw.
The right rear is the way the AE manuals state (or used to state). It really shouldn't matter since you go around turns both left and right.

If you're traction rolling, try limiting your travel and/or lowing your ride height. If I'm reading it correctly, your car is rolling too much and causing it to flip in the sweeper. You could also try stiffer springs and shortening your camber links, but then you start getting in to other handling characteristics. I would try the limiters and lowering your ride height first though.

Ackerman setup
Hi mates
What would be the difference between adding shims to the ackerman bar
And changing the steering arms by a type 1
As I understand the first one will give a better steering response
The second one a tighter steering radius wich can provide more front grip at low speed
Did I'm right?

I have the associated type 1. For me the steering felt more aggressive on corner entry but more even throughout the turn. Liked it better and felt more consistent
Anyone opine on the schelle xbrace and turnbuckle?

on a outdoor low to med track, the +1 AE blocks added sharp turn in, but for me car seemed twitchy. a AE junior driver asked if he could try them in mod, his car looks more steering reactive, he liked the change / effect. i would like it try a +.5 option block/plate if there is one out there...maybe schelle ones fall in that range?

If I get this right 91548 Alum. rear hubs from my sc5m should fit to my B6D, correct? (Worth switching?)
These the right ones for my B6D: ??
