Adjustable Control Arms


OK, I have ordered adjustable control arms (upper and lower) for my car. How do I adjust them properly? I have tried to google this but it seems that online stores>info.

You will want the pinion angle to be correct relative to the trans. ***HERE*** is a nice web page on differing angles and the result. There is a tool you can purchase to help set it up correctly, but I am willing to bet there is another way.

HTH.
