Front Suspension Help Needed
Getting ready for first start so wheels were mounted and the car was placed on the shop floor for the first time. I then noticed that the PS front wheel is extremely toed in. First thought was that I assembled the upper UCA incorrectly but checking that against numerous posts here, all appears to be ok. Checked zerk to zerk for both sides and they are identical, 8.5 rear, 9.75 front. Trimmed rear sleeves are on the rear for both sides. Steering arms point out as they should.
When I did the FFR power steering I centered the rack doing a slight adjustment with the Breeze bushing. My recall is that I used the end of rod (for centering) without the rod ends mounted. I then adjusted the rod ends to the 53 1/16" shown in the manual, with equal threads at both rod ends.
I've just read the detailed post by Karlos and now wonder if I centered the rack incorrectly. His post indicates the boots have to be removed to access the inner joint for measuring the centering. I didn't do that. Wish FFR had provided some installation info.
Scratching my head here. What have I got wrong?
Thanks,
Pat
