Hello,

I recently locked my Hicas, and shimmed my diff on my r32 and Took it to get an alignment. my left rear Toe, shows -13.8mm and -13.7mm for my Rear right Toe, They said that my Toe rods are too short so they couldnt adjust it properly, I brought the Hicas lock bar from Redline. When I drive straight, my steering wheel keeps turning to the left, and sometimes it feels like my car is slightly wobbling/fishtailing, It feels like its gone worse then having hicas Some say it might be due to the ball joint or bushes but when I had my Hicas on, It never did that, apart from the steering slowly turning to the left.

Has anyone had any issues after they locked the ther hicas, did you have to buy toe rods?

Another Forum has come to the conclusion that I need to put washers between the lockbar and rack arms. They also said that the washer are from the actual Hicas however the only washer I can see is, is a thread type washer, which will not fit on my hicas lockbar. Did any of you put a washer between youre rack arms and lockbar?

CHeers.

yeh wrong lock bar id say, i put a bar in my old r32 gtst, took it for a wheel alignment and it was fine, messure the length of it, then call redline and ask them how long their lock bars are for the 32, if what they say is different messurements to yours ask them to exchange it for the right one

I thought lock bars were generic for all models.

from memory i measured my lock bar and it was a couple centimetres shorter than the stock rack.

My car fishtailed at anything over 50kph on the way to the alignment place.

and they couldn't measure the toe because it was too far out to measure by their system.

but they were able to adjust enough to normal.

sounds weird they couldn't adjust 13mm.
