Hi all I have run into a new hurdle, I have the pin drive lower a arms from FFR and the adjustable upper a arms from FFR and with these parts together I have 8 degrees of negative camber! What are the solutions? Cut the upper adjustable links in the upper a arms and shorten? Wouldn’t want to lengthen the lower arms. Really don’t want to call FFR for more replacement parts as I know it will be months waiting. Any suggestions?

Pin drive width requires SN95 spindles and #12507 - PIN DRIVE WIDTH SPINDLE ADAPTER BRACKETS. You mentioned 8 degrees negative camber and shortening the UCA links—-this would create even more negative camber! I think you must be confusing terms. As Gordon said, photos would go a long way towards helping us understand what you have going on.

Yes what I meant to say is 8 degrees of positive camber. I will see if I can post a picture later.

170498 I think Jeff is correct I received the factory five spindles not the SN95 but I did receive the brackets for those spindles. Very confusing why I have incompatible parts together. Is there any other option than changing spindles? I already mounted ball joints and hubs. Any advice appreciated

You need to use SN95 spindles with the pin drive spindle adapter and mount the upper arms to the top plate. Pin drive will not work with FFR spindles at all. Your brakes will bolt on to SN95 spindles with no problem.

The wilwood upgrade will work on the SN95 spindles?

Yes it will, bolt right up.

Thank you Gordon and Jeff for the advice I have contacted FFR and hope to get this resolved quickly. It is reassuring to have helping voices on this forum to correct the incorrect.
