Be careful James as the eccentric lower control arm pins have a weak spot
where they are offset, and snap under hard driving. Many a rally 1600 has
done an abrupt U-turn or worse because of these things letting go.

> I have read by using ecentric (or offset) pins that run through your
crossmember/ lowercontrol arm by rotating these so the ecentric part is at
the top not bottom (these I use in my 1600 to change the camber on the front
end) it changes the height of the control arm in relation to the crossmember
thus can reduce bump steer on a lowered 1600 to a certain degree. Basicly
what it does is the control arm located higher due the off set on the pin, I
read about this on one of the american 1600 websites but can't remember
which one but it's linked to the ozdat site.
