Suspension questions
#1
I'm rebuilding the front end on my 67, the strut rods that came out were both bent so I opted for the Calvert adjustable. How should I install/adjust them prior to taking the car for an alignment ?

Just get them snug and don't tighten the lock bolt down maybe?

Did they not give you any basic measurements with kit?

If not I would match length of bent ones and add a little since there shorter now, that'll get you down the road to the alignment shop. Snug the fasteners and make sure you tell them to final torque when aligned.

They use bushings so thats good, those solid ones are harsh.

Piper, do those rods use poly or rubber bushings?

I have RCD Bilsteins on Jr and really like them. My KYBs on Max are decent shocks too but would prefer a little stiffer like RCDs. Hopefully they still make them.
