Now, there's so much force on the suspension it is eating the aluminum where you adjust the setup...And I can't get the camber adjusted to it's proper setting, together with the propor "toe" setting.

On the picture it is not completely tightened but it looks a whole lot better.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.
Adjust setup...and i can't get the camber

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm lost...
I changed the bushings into Porsche 996 (911) 1997-05 Powerflex Polyurethane Bushes.
I also changed the rear toe control arm and the front control arm link(both baljoints worn out).
Now I'm left with a inch and a half push rearwards from the wheel where the suspension "wants" to be.
The front control arm is a Meyle416050004 and is about 14 inch(the same as front) long.
My vehicle is a 2003 996-2 Convertible, did I have the wrong control arm(the old one is thrown away), the toe control arm is the same size as the old one(still have one).
Now, there's so much force on the suspension it is eating the aluminum where you adjust the setup...And I can't get the camber adjusted to it's proper setting, together with the propor "toe" setting.
In the pictures the suspension is at "ride" height.
Hmmm... looks very strange. A couple questions. Have you measured the forward and rear toe arms/control arms to make sure you don't have them swapped? Do you have any photo's of the setup before you took it apart? Take a look at a suspension parts breakdown and make sure you have the right parts in the right places. While the suspension is fairly complex in the way it works, it's not rocket science... How about looking at how the other side is put together (mirror image) maybe that'll help you figure it out? Good luck
I need more specifics. Which bushings did you change out, the subframe bushings? Sway bar bushings?
When you say front toe arm do you mean lower control arm? Post links to the parts you used, the Meyle part# isn't coming up on google.
Also, what shocks do you have? Is the ride height static or adjustable? If adjustable, what is it set to?
I think I found it... Maybe someone can confirm:
The control arm link is upside down; one side is slightly longer then the top side.
I've mounted it the other way now and everything (like the toplink bushings) are straight now. On the picture it is not completely tightened but it looks a whole lot better.
Everyone thanks for the help as quick as you reacted, it sure helped me took look further then panicking
That sure looks a whole lot better! Sometimes all it takes is stepping back a little, and as you say "not panicking". Glad you got it sorted (or so it seems).
To help others avoid this ,here is a suggestion based on what we do. It is primitive but it works. Get a paint pen like the Dismantlers & Welders use .
The best are "Super Met-Al".
Sharpie paint pens are bad because they dribble the paint !The Super Met-Al paint dries very fast.

Mark the part 'top', 'fr' or whatever is the critical orientation. Pick a drab color so it does not look ugly but is easily visible on inspection.Don't use an ink marker -it may rub off.
Use the same to mark & i.d. old parts and highlight defects or put an arrow to the part number if it is stamped into the part.
I hope this helps
I don't know why but I find it pretty funny that you are posting the "best" marker to label parts with. I also find it equally funny that I'm excited by this and have already ordered it. Thanks for posting.
