[Shotimes] RE: Adjustable caster tension strut rods in front

[Bruce Malachuk]

Ok I think had it figured out right then. Can anyone look at these pics and
tell me if this is the right setup for using K8516 from MOOG, and adjustable
caster arms?

I just want to make sure all this is right before I go bolting things into
place I hate doing things twice if I can avoid it.

Bruce, I had Eric @ Rickety install my Ingalls adjustable length front strut
rods this spring along with a full set of TPR bushing from Josh.  
They go in the same as the stock units.  The nut on the front of the forward
Knuckle bushing is where the adjustment in length is made, shorter length
means more positive caster.  We also moved the SF back about = to make room
to the factory shrouded fan assembly.  BTW, I also got an upper strut mount
caster/camber adjustment kit from Nook just to make sure we had enough play
to get the alignment where I wanted.

To be truthful, I may get her realigned before Gingerman on the 22nd. 
Slightly less caster (now +4.7degree) and a bit more negative camber (now -
0.75 degrees) to get more out of the track rubber.
