dirty deeds' deeds, done dirt CHEAP! and dirty vibes

Hopeful install this coming weekend. Been fighting alignment gremlins today, continues tomorrow. I should just take it to a shop and make them read the SPC instructions.

 

I don’t know the back story on said gremlins, but this is what I always did when I had those arms on my 2nd gen and I never had any trouble getting great alignments.

Do the following yourself. Set the castor to the neutral position. That is +2* IIRC. Set the camber by setting the joint as close to the center of the slot as you can by eyeballing it. Measure so that both sides are as close to the same as you can get it.

After that, the alignment shop should be able to get the numbers you want only using the LCA eccentrics. I never even mentioned to them that the uppers we’re adjustable. One less thing for them to screw up. Haha

 

i just let my guy do it. He drives a taco too


he is me, and me is him

 

I'm pretty sure my cam bolts are stuck and I know passenger tie rod doesn't like to move a lot. This are the gremlins. Like to get it driveable til I make an appointment at least.
Also have at least one flattening tab

 

you can either heat them up to get them to move; or take it apart, wire wheel it, and lather that shit with anti-seize. Bend the cam tab back and see if someone like everett would weld them.

 

X2 on this

 

Hopefully your cam tabs arnt bent and you dont need new inner and outer TRE’s. If it was me wanting to do all the mods you want to do there would hurdles in the way trying to prevent me from accomplishing it. I have shitty luck.

 

Eh, itsi the game we play

 

I've got someone closer to put a bead in there. Tie rod ends look fine at least. Driver side lbj is wet though

 

Indeed man

 

were you in Lexington around noon today?

 

Nope. Been home all day

 

I guess I saw someone else with a nice white 2nd gen...

 

Mine is basic af

Will revisit this week some more and take it to an alignment shop this weekend.

Clutch ordered though! Lort, help us al

 

What mod is this? How many HP gains? Bill do you approve this?

 

I netted 3 hours of cussing a broken IFS skid bolt, and 5 hours of porch sitting and bourbon drinking from this mod.
