Reply to "Camber/Brace adjustment"

Hey Bob, normally an adjustable brace has a center tie rod that you would turn to loosen or tighten the brace. When you turn it into one direction, the brace on each side of the tie rod will move in toward each other to loosen or it will move away from each other to tighten. You might also have a nut on each side, before making the adjustments (if you do make them, to tighten up the frame for example), you will need to loosen the nuts first before attempting to turn the tie rod, what the nut does is it keeps the tie rod in it's position and not let it loosen by itself or by vibration, the nut locks the tie rod position in place.

How much to turn and tighten the tie rod after it becomes increasingly harder to turn is for someone else to tell you, since I don't know how tight it's suppose to be, i would suppose it's just common sense and not tightening it to the point where it will over stress the frame and deform the shape of it.
