I'm installing my Rusty's adjustable front lower control arms tomorrow and have a couple of questions before I do it.

1. Do I have to use a floor jack at all or do I keep the wheels on the ground?

2. Will I have to get an alignment after the install?

Thanks!!!

 

You can do it with all the wheels on the ground. We always recommend having the alignment at least checked. This will give you a more accurate castor setting so your rig is more enjoyable to drive.

 

Recently upgraded mine, and left all 4 paws grounded. Will note that mine were fixed though.

Left mine on the ground to install all 8. Dialed in caster/pinion and set the toe. Came out Perfect.

 

Is there a write up for castor and pinion as well as toe adjustments ?

 

Synergy is known to have good numbers to start with. Every jeep is a little different so your settings might be different then somebody else's.
All 8 arms ?

Generally the front lowers center the wheel in the wheel well at 23" eye to eye.
Uppers for caster/pinion. You can base caster off your pinion flange knowing there's 6* of separation. 2*-2.5* up will give you around 4*-4.5* caster.
The rear lowers center the axle in the well, rear uppers to have the pinion - 2* less than the driveshaft angle.

 

Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna have to try and install as soon as I get a chance

 

What do I torque the bolts to?

Don't tread on me.

 

All CA's/Tb bolts except front uppers are 125, front uppers are 75 ft lbs.

 

Thank you very much

Don't tread on me.
