The front end alignment shop heated and bent the steering arms down abt. 1/2" so everything would clear.
This was an "old skool" suspension shop thats been around since the '50's. Theres no prob heating and bending those pieces if its done right. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 1,897 | Marty... would that be More-Drop in oakland? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 292 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 292 | hey Chato what all did you have to do to put the new style tie rod ends on.
