Chassis


The first significant procedure I did was to measure the geometry of the frame and arms using primitive means. Luckily the frame did not show any detectable skewness (by means of measuring diagonals and sides) and all I had to replace at that point were the front arms. Old arms seem to have taken a beating on every occasion.
Measuring the span of the lower front wishbones
As expected: quite a difference of about 10 mm
The new arms came at around 250$ each and the left one took me quite a long time to grab. None of the stores seemed to have it.

This solved the issue with geometry on front and for the first time in years this picture was possible:
Correct camber, caster and toe on front. The caster difference used to be 2.5 degrees
