I have a Hotchkis unit on the way and
need some tips on the adjustments, install university gives
their usual good write up but its on a non-adj
unit.

THANKS

Just make sure the axle is "centered" under the car. Find a reference point (A plumbob off of the LCA's or the fender or another fixed point) and make sure the dimentions match on each side (that is why the LCA's work well for measuring, they are in the same place on both sides). Make sure you measure with the weight on the suspension (car on the ground or on jackstands under the axle). Did that make sense? (I thought it did...but I'm not sure).

Made perfect sense. That's exactly the way you want to do it.

I took the stock PHB and aligned the new adjustable one with it and made them the exact smae length by inserting the bolts through both mounts.

I snugged the jam nuts and installed the new bar.

I took it down off the jack stands, sprayed a small area of water on my driveway and rolled the car through it, onto the dry portion of my driveway.

I then looked to see if the rear tires and front tires tracked on top of each other.

I measured the difference in track, took 1/2 of it, jacked up the car, adjusted the new bar accordingly and rechecked.

That ensured proper tracking front to rear

Mitch....I hate it when you make sense.....I never thought of that approach.

SO if the plumbob is one reference point what
is the other end of the measurement?
The tire??
