Well finally got my arms on and am trying to figure out how to get both sides set up the same. So far I have counted treads to try to get the two equal but I know there has to be a better way. Anyone tell me how to setup the caster, camber and toe in? The place I got the arms told me 2 degree camber, 5-7 degree caster, and 1/8 inch toe in, but I have no idea how to measure to get to these numbers.

Thanks in advance
David Chapman

I am having the exact same problem. What I did learn was that just because the ball joints are in the same place when counting threads, they dont necessarily sit the same caster or whatever.

I have a friend who knows how to do it and is going to set mine up, but he said its hard to explain on here. When I get mine done, I will try and explain for you.
