Front end alignment after new parts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Byronic · 12-21-2009, 04:22 PM

I am planning on replacing the following on my 66 panel
• Upper and Lower Ball Joints
• Outer and Inner Tie Rod Ends
• Adjusting Sleeves
• Idler Arm
Pitman arm
My question is how do I line everthing up close enough to
drive it to the alignment shop? Are there any diagrams
around?
I would take it to a shop and have them do it all but
I want to paint all the parts berfore the install.
Thanks for any help.

I just make the tie rods the same length as the old ones and make sure you go driectly to the alignment shop.
