noob 4 link question

I was more concerned about his pinion angle due to the fact he needs to adjust to get ride height equal on both sides. Too much adjustment is going to change the pinion and then during droup it will bind the u joints.

Again, I am not an expert and we would make sure pinion was correct and start adjusting for a/s and see what our 60 foot times were and how it carried the front wheels.. We never had to worry about binding as much as in this sport.

Shoot Mike at Appalachian a email and see what he says...

sorry I didn't get a chance to respond quicker but work has been crazy due to the rain. But the prob is that the body is not sitting over the axel corectly though the axel is centered and the pinion angle is perfect. I decided to mess with it a bit today before I reponded and here is what i found. When I removed the pass UCA the body centered itself out. then to get the pass UCA in I had to push the body pass side again because the Uca was to long. So what happing was that I had the method to adjust it backwards, which sucks because I can only adjust them out not in. All well I ordered parts to make some new upper control arms. Kind of sucks that they were almost $110 a piece for the parts. At least they will be a little more heavy duty and have more adjustment in them, plus will fit perfect instead of having to use bushings.

Is there enough room to adjust the lowers out in addition to the uppers to get the length right?(adjust them all out about 1/2 inch so the one that is long is about right?)

Truss wont clear the gas skidplate if I move it back a couple of inches. All well the parts should be here in about a week. After that I should be good to go.

just the rear UCA. keep in mind they have the smaller heads on them that use a 3/8" bolt.
