[s-cars] Lower control arms and alignment

[James Shackelford]

Larry,

 

That is exactly what I needed to know.  I will get some control arms and do
those hopefully by Wednesday and reschedule my alignment for Thursday.
Thanks for the input!

 

Thanks!

 

James

Generally speaking, if your ball joints are shot, there is no real way to do
an accurate
alignment due to wheel location slop. 

So, to answer your question. Do the arms first, THEN do the alignment. 

Sorry that it's not the answer you'd like to hear.

Hey, general question on alignments.  I need an alignment, but I also just
discovered that my lower control arms balls are shot, so I am ordering
control arms.  After I put new control arms on, do I need to get it
realigned?  I am leaving next Friday for vacation, it needs an alignment,
but also needs control arms.  Which to do first??? I can get the alignment
tomorrow, but will order the control arms.

Thanks,

James 

FYI, did the front wheel bearings today, as well as installed BIRA sys 5
brakes.  Those Big Reds grab!
