Operating on the strut tower (was RE: [Shotimes] Alignment Products, Problems to begin with)

[Carl Prochilo]

Job finished.  I clicked a few photos of the strut tower before I did the
work so you can see what it looks like for the folk that haven't attempted
this yet.  At this point in the process the car is lifted at the front of
the subframe.  I left the wheels on and swaybar links connected, and there
was still enough play to be able to drop the strut low enough to move the
bolts out of harms way.

I used a Dremmel tool and about 4 grinding wheels to create slots at about
45 degrees, outward and back direction.  This should increase positive
caster and reduce negative camber.  The inner bolt is the one to look
after.  I probably left about 1/8" metal.
