[Shotimes] Re: Rear suspension question (Not OT!!!)

[Alan Fanning]

Some of the GM control arms are a bit too long to be able to set the camber
properly. The solution is to cut a 1/4" to a 1/2" off the threaded ends on
each side of the turnbuckle. Midwest SHO is apparently providing the arms
already cut to length.
