I've just got my car back from getting a tune and I've got a bit of axle tramp problem. The car is a sr20 ke70 and I'm running a Hilux rear end/LSD.
I've currently got a pair of falcon springs that have been cut down a bit, but I've still got the standard shocks in there.
If I upgrade to some VB-VL live axle shocks do you think that will solve my problem??

How do I do that exactly?? Does the diff have to come out?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (-=GOODY=- @ Dec 13 2007, 09:43 PM) </div>your mounts were cut and welded onto a G diff, probably not in exactly the right spot's(they never are)
look for aftermarket adjustable trailing arms, even if it's just the top arms you'll be able to wind the pinoin angle back and stop the axle hop
you're looking at the diff pinion angle in relation to the horizontal, it could be a trial and error thing.
shocks would help abit too, you've got a lot more unsprung weight in the rear now
put your foot down harder
traction brackets are cheaper then four links both of which will help/correct the problem
they bolt on to your lower diff mounts and extend the section your trailing arms bolt to thus somewhat correcting tramp by altering the pinion angle and preventing the diff from trying to "roll over". Once lowered the arms aren't flat they angle upwards giving the diff a tendency to push the nose down further and want to flip or roll forward (it can't do this but it wants to which causes the hopping tramp action)
nolathane bushes or similar will help also on standard arms, and reduce slop.
Where abouts should I look to find a cheap pair of adjustable trailing arms and/or traction brackets?
This might sound stupid but am I able to just cut and shut the ones alrady on there is or this a bad idea?
dont know about a cut n shut.
...but check the site sponsers for both.
you should be able to get away with top adjustable arms and bushes for the bottom.
Yeh I'll keep looking through and see if I can find anything, I might have some nolathane bushes sitting in the shed so that might save me a little bit
