Help roughing in toe-in after frontend rebuild.
Hi folks,
This winter one of my vette projects was to put in a front end rebuild kit. Balljoints, bushings and rodends. Well I installed the VBP anti bumpsteer blocks and their HD tierod sleeves. Since the blocks move the tierod end mounting point down and inboard an inch matching the tierod lengths minus an inch only gets me so close. Does anyone have a home garage procedure that'll get me close so I can drive to my prefered alignment shop? I can get it flatbedded but it'll cost me about $100. As for the caster/camber I putback the original shims in there orginal locations and the car tracked well before a a-arm bushing disintegrated, so I think I'm close there. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
