I don't understand how you're supposed to adjust the heim joints on the control arms. Obviously the rod end spins in/out, but how are you supposed to do it once the control arms are on the frame?
For example, you install your front UCAs. Torque everything up. Now down the road you're ready to set caster/camber. It can't be (a)unbolt UCA (b) spin heim end in/out (c) bolt back (d) check caster/camber (e) repeat a<->d until you get the correct number?
On FFR cars, the UCAs have tubes that can be spun while on the car to lengthen/shorten the arms. Makes sense.....can't figure out though with billet control arms how you're supposed to do it with them on the car. I've got billet LCAs on my cobra, and all I did was turn the heim joints on each arm out 3/4 turn before installing them and hope I got it right the first time (I guess I did).
I'm probably overlooking something (e.g., there are some set standards, like turn each one out 1 full turn and forget about it), but I don't know what........
