hey guys. new to the forum here. i have a question for the more experienced people. i am trying to convert my colt to 5 lug. basically what i did was swap some gsx front hubs and knuckles onto it. which ive read is basically a direct swap.

well now that its all installed. i have extreme positive camber issues..

any input would be appreciated.

You also have extreme bump steer issues because of the radical change of the tie rod placement. Get Expo knuckles, and camber plates, or just get Expo knuckles and slot your struts a little bit less than this.

What are you going to do about the rear?

i have the fwd rear spindles from a 91 eagle.

i tried camber bolts on the front and it corrected it some. ill try slotting the struts out

Did you research this before doing the swap?

no not really.. i am a big dsm guy and this is my first csm.
i was told from a few people and previous owner that the gsx knuckles are a direct swap onto it.

Should do research first. Fronts are simple. Dsm hubs wont fit on rear. You need a certain year mirage sedan rear hubs. Then.you have.to drill to 5lug

if thats the case the rear can stay 4 lug. idgaf. the shell isn't nearly nice enough to be going through all this hassle.. unless someone wants the colt gt shell, its probably getting scrapped in the next year or so.

Rear is a pain..

Put location in profile!

You dont have to use the mirage sedan hubs for the rear,i use the same CSM hubs.Just take it to your local machine shop and they'll know what to do.
