Thread: b14 beam bending party, anyone?

If I were taught how to do this, I would do it, for cheaper. The process is not hard. After reading Kojima's article, I think I want to try this myself first.

Make three brackets for the beam to take the stress, get a hydraulic bottle jack, one big piece of iron, and two length of chains. Bend the beam out to zero begrees and enjoy.

thats what im sayin..i would as well..but i need to know how to do it, which way to bend the beam, etc etc..lol

Nitto Tire: News

i didnt realize that b14 and b15 rear suspensions were so similar? are they?

The beam is bent inwards and we want to bend it outwards.

Look at those pictures closely. The iron bar is more rearward but parallel with the rear suspension beam about to be bent.

The jack slowly increases pressure and takes that stupid toe in out of the car and points the rear wheels straight if done correctly.

Yeah, they are pretty damn close to the same thing. Same with Maximas.

so the bow of the beam points towards the front or the rear of the car?

A:
) >front of car
or

B:
rear < (

Haha, come on man. Toe-in.

I guess out of your two little pictures. The ( and ) is the beam and the > and < is the bottle jack?

The bow of the beam is towards the rear. The tires are pointed inwards and if you would draw a line from the top and center of each tire, they would intersect at some point.

The beam bending makes it so if you would draw a line form the top and center of each tire, they would run parallel.

im a ra-tard..haha..

brain fart..my bad..

so heres my new diagram:

::FRONT OF CAR:: ) < I

) =beam
< =bottle jack (pushing in direction its pointing)
I =beam supporting jack

w/ chains wrapped around whole thing

The new diagram, although crude, is basically what needs to happen.
