let me start by saying that the entire install took 10 hours, doing things carefully and for the first time. part of that was trying to figure out how stuff works without directions (because i still havent realized that if you follow directions things make more sense), like using the ball joint press (very simple) and the grease gun I had to buy (i didnt realize that grease goes through that tiny nipple thing). in the end it all worked out.
few questions/comments..
I have ALL spacers above the tie rod. This bring my tie rods closest to parrallel with the control arm. According to the instuctions this should be right because i used the X-2's, and put in H&R SS springs during the install. How about your spacers? esp those of you with SS springs and X-2's.
I got pissed because the bumpsteer kit got scraped up from turning it to tighten/loosen the jam nut. Then i got smart and wrapped the wrench with electrical tape. oh well
On to alignment.. my alignment is wayyy off now, car turns to right but the steering wheel is slanted left, what im wondering is... When i take it for alignment, will the people know what the bumpsteer kit is, and should i tell them to not mess with the spacers? thanks guys, sry for length, but it was a lengthy install.
