Very interesting. Which shop is this? Well can't exactly tell, but it looks like it may be Chinese on the newspaper, don't see any hiragana or katakana along with the kanji. From Taiwan?

Not necessarily... you see, you can get Chinese newspapers in Chicago (and LA, etc). So it could be TEO or a buddy of his. The whole thing could be a "homemade" job.

There's also this ‚f‚dƒtƒBƒbƒgƒŠƒ„ƒAƒNƒXƒ‹





If I'm not mistaken it's a fixed -5*.

There was another one I saw on insightcentral which was adjustable also from an Asian company either Thai, or HK... can't find that link again though.

Regardless those things are $$$$ not including shipping...
The first one posted in this thread looks interesting though.... wonder about this plus rear disc conversion... hmmm

hmm I am not sure about cambering the fit, we had a GE8 and got sick of thinking of a solution to it so we gave up and sold the thing. New legacy sitting in the driveway now

Actually, there's a lot of posts on exactly how to camber the rear wheels by shimimg the hub plates. But thats a new axle assembly to me. Where is it from? And how does it change camber? Don't see a tilting motion.

All those posts you're thinking about... are for the GD, not the GE. The "spindle" part that was bolted onto the torsion beam of the GD (this allows for shimming)... is now a welded part. So, without some cutting, you can't shim the OE axle.

As for the camber... (this is purely guessing based on the pictures I can see, since I'm not involved in the actual product)... the "spindle" body is attached via bushings at the middle, but at the bottom, is a slotted hole where it could be slid in and out for camber.
