thats not really what hes going for though.
hes looking at it more from the standpoint of using the traction arm for something instead of just being there.
not the settings, but the actual geometry of it.
you could have your toe at zero, and camber at 2 degrees, but have it physically in a different place due to traction rod length.

It seems to me that the traction rod's function is akin to putting pre-load on the suspension a bit to reduce wheel hop. Are you talking about physically relocating the arm on the suspension or just fine tuning the length?

I had some retired race car drivers helping me with my car yesterday. This was the problem.
So I bought a dual cam s13 throttle cable and made it work. With a custom mount that mattback made and fleming's help we made this work. I do need to make it a permanent fix but this will last for a few weeks. I was driving around with the cable like that all of yesterday.

If you're putting enough stress on that cable to partially break it, you'll be breaking the throttle body itself soon. Go to the junkyard and get an 89-94 Maxima pulley. It's a direct replacement for the SR pulley and it puts the guided part at the right angle so it's never unsupported. On your setup, you're not pulling around the circumference of the pulley, you're pulling through the middle of it until you get to about half throttle.
Mattback actually told me to get with you about this. Will you be at QSL on thurs? I want you to take a look at the setup. He said something like you had a similar problem so I would totally appreciate any info you would be wiling to tell me.
You say get a maxima pulley but should I still use my throttle body that I have?
