maybe dumb ? but on ffr manual rack it appears that you would need to remove tie rods from knuckle to adjust toe does this seem correct
or can the rod coming out of rack be turned to adjust? i didnt see any flats on inner rods that should be there

thanks

Nope. Not necessary to remove from the knuckle. You do have to loosen or remove the clamp on the small end of the boot so it can turn there. You don't want to be spinning the boot with the big end tied down. Some tie rod ends have flats. Others don't. Agree it's nicer when they do.

I am looking for a good suspension/chassis tuning shop in Rhode Island area for installation of bump steer kit with alignment on roadster. Also, recommended kit for SN95 spindles and flaming river rack, preferably one that does not require drilling of spindles. Any input would be helpful. Thanks.....

If you haven’t had the car aligned yet it is impossible to properly measure bump steer to determine if you even have it and need to correct it. You’re getting the cart before the horse here.

Suspension height recently adjusted and fresh alignment. Car displays bump steer (as evidenced from within the cart)...
