Nice road rash I've got on the front edge of that control arm. Note: Somewhere in Wichita there's a missing yellow dot from the road.

The 73-87's have a beveled washer that goes into that "slot", shims are placed between it and the frame. Quote:

OUCH I remember asking those questions to Bill Turner when I was only going to do the member and not the Rack and pinion. He spoke of turning the parts backwards somehow?? Not sure if he was blowing $hit up my ARSE or what??

Where are your spacers for the upper control arms? You also need your borgenson joints to clear your upper arm, any time you go that low you are going to need to do it.
Where are the budweisers? |

On my buddies 85 the shop that did the alignment used spacers that were dished to match the shaft on the outside of the spacer stack.
