With the increasing amounts of rear camber that we are running on the 200 tread wear tires and potentially the new NP01 spec slick tire I’ve amended Tech Bulletin TB 008.
We’ve found that at 2.5° rear camber there is some slight binding between the tripod cup and tripod at close to full compression on the suspension.
We are now recommending that teams running 2° or more of rear camber should remove the spacer that sits between the outer CV and the hub bearing. It seems to only be apparent at 2.5° + but I’d rather have a little margin hence the 2° + requirement to remove the spacer.
The spacer was originally added because at full droop with low camber it was possible that the axle would run out of travel and pull enough on the tripod cup that it could unseat the internal snap ring.
