Threads rusty?
Little trick I learned for that, Fuck wish I would have known about the modded knuckles before...
I'm planning on replacing my FLCA, ball joint and uprights in the future

[HouseOf1817]

no, threads aren't all that rusty, the helper springs and such are a mess though.
what i just bought;
traction rod, tension rod,steering spacer, subframe risers
what else would you suggest for me to get before going to get an alignment

[HouseOf1817]

didn't you get the whiteline replacement balljoints at one point?

[andybob]

lol at your alignments.

I just adjust camber so it is equal on both sides, and adjust toe within factory specs on the front. The rears I just fuck with toe. (no adjustable camber until I get eccentric bolts.)

Car goes down the road straight and still turns fine. Caster is a bit off and so is SAI, but you show me a cad that can have correct measurements and be dumped and I'll be impressed.

Tension rod brace, Tie rods, RUCA
and check for worn bushings while you're under there

Nah just Moog, when I replace I'm going solid.

Thats why alot of dumped 240s have like -2 to -3 camber

yeah, and your car isn't nearly as old and modified. I'd rather not be breaking parts at track
Oh and by the end of my 'minor' build process, I want the car to be a clean,comfortable daily

[HouseOf1817]

honestly it doesn't correct anything if it's done wrong. (i.e. coils and outer tie rods)
I never drifted my car before I bought it and nearly all the rubber/poly bushing were toast

lol

I spent a lot of time learning about alignments and all the terms in school.

For most applications (i.e. stock cars)
Toe will wear tires first
Then camber

Caster has a lot to do with steering effort and how the car goes down the road. Positive caster is good (to a point) and negative caster is bad (car will be all over the road, think shopping cart wheels). Excessive caster on one side can create a pull.

Steering Axis Inclination (SAI), read this:

There are a lot of other terms, but these are some of the most important ones.

[HouseOf1817]

Basically to answer your question, once a car is lowered the original parts do not suffice like they were intended to. Surely they will work to a certain degree on most cars yet if you want a stock ride height replace your bushings only and if your going to be drifter dude stance and take 60* turns then your going to need adjustable arms to relieve the stress off old worn out parts and add some rigidity. There is plenty more I left out, if your interested here is some decent info

- and yes, i'm up to par with my basic steering knowledge. lol
I'm sorry for bickering, you know what your talking about.
I'm just trying to go to the floor, with a retarted low track stance
