Default Best way to line up lower control arms...

Umi Kmember and lower arms... I am trying to measure what the old arm and stock K member were at but it's hard to repeat those measurements to the new K and arm...

Any hints to get it close so I can get her to an alignment shop without any craziness???

With our k and arms, just center each of the four bolts in the slots.

If you stay reasonably symmetrical, you can handle driving gently as far as caster goes.

Toe is more important for a comfortable trip to the alignment shop. Slight toe in is safest.

Will do. Thanks much. Love the quality of the road race K!!!!
Its a shame that it has to be hidden under the car.

I held my new arms on top of the stockers to set the rod end in the back. Then did toe completely by eye. Damn thing drove real good.
